Very stubborn guy!!!I can barely afford to drive 150 miles in a month, let alone drive somewhere else right now. I'll just take my chances staying here. Something that I have to deal with at this point.

You can apply now, you don't have to wait until you get out. As long as your spouse or family member helps take care of your daily living needs, you may fall under tier 3 while still on AD. But, still that's and extra $1600.Can I apply for Family care givers program with proposed rating ? or Do I have to wait for Final award letter.
Not stubborn, just broke (money wise) and mentally drained taking care of my dad in the hospital, plus I just had my foot surgery a few weeks ago. It's been a VERY rough week... This caregiver thing right now is more of an annoyance than anything else right now, I kinda am throwing it on the back burner at the moment.Why not have a garage sale and get rid of some junk, eat ramon for a few days, or sell a kidney even . $1000 a month possible by spending $100 on gas is something I would take all day long. There is also this really cool thing created a little over a hundred years ago called a phone. If you go to this website

And punch in your zip, it will not only give you your caregiver coordinator, but all the others as well. Just sayin

YESSIR!!! LOL, I will check on it tomorrow if I get any free time.I will beat you into submission Grizz Point one, you say you're broke. Hmmmm caregiver program = Extra money. Point two, you just had surgery. Pretty sure your wife is taking care of you. Why not let her get paid. Point three, mentally drained. Nothing better than getting something you earned and going out to dinner to celebrate your victory
Use the page I linked and start calling people. I am pretty sure you are getting bad information, or maybe misunderstanding the process. This is worth doing to take care of you and your family. They will send somebody out, see your situation and help you.

I believe its based off CNA pay in you local city, but it also depends on what tier level you fall under(which is based on amount of weekly hours you would need assistance)Is the caregiver stipend amount the same across all states or is there a calculation for it? I hope that made sense.
Have they told you what you what condition was reduced?Question to ponder, "Can VA Caregiver benefits be taken away without due process of law?" The VA is sending notices either taking away or reducing benefits without so much as a physical examination. I'm 100% P&T SMC with Aid & Attendance and ours has been reduced by 75% immediately although we can appeal. Not to sure how it goes with VA appeals now a days. They told me my claim was supposed to be completed within 120 days and I received benefits 3.5 years later.
NO, it was a standard form letter saying we were reduced from Caregiver TierLevel 3 to 1, reducing our monthly stipend by $1,500/mo. I'm pending amputation.Have they told you what you what condition was reduced?
