Go to va.gov, manage benefits, add or remove dependents, and just follow the steps. I did this in 2013 for my Mom and it only took 5-6 weeks, but unfortunately she passed away before then.
Wish I had thought of it sooner because it would have been so helpful!!! I’ll be praying for you guys!

I added my Mom back in 2013, but as I stated above, she passed away just as they approved her as my dependent. I followed the online procedure for adding a parent as a dependent. It was fairly straightforward and an easy application process. It only took about five to six weeks for the approval! Which, as I also stated, is extremely fast for the VA!!!
I wish all who are going for this step the success and expedience that I had in getting your loved ones added as your dependent!!! I know how helpful it can be!!!
I’ll be praying for you guys!!!!!

Ask to speak to a social worker at your local VA facility. They can get you squared away SGT on all programs you would qualify for when it comes to adding a parent as a dependent.
