Are a Vietnam era veteran or Vietnam veteran? Did you have the VFW, DAV, or VVA help you with your claim?

You can find it at: va.gov/forms <br />That form with letters from your doctors should get you an allotment for your wife as a caregiver...Best of luck <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1898199" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1898199-wayne-esping">PO3 Wayne Esping</a>, Nancy SPC Nancy Greene Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:13:51 -0400 2021-10-18T16:13:51-04:00 Response by MSgt Gloria Vance made Oct 19 at 2021 8:37 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-am-100-disabled-veteran-from-vietnam-my-wife-has-to-help-me-just-cut-up-my-food-drive-for-me-and-basically-assist-with-everything-i-do?n=7326495&urlhash=7326495 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If possible…. Go to this website and search for “Aid and attendance”. Some of These guys are former VA employees and are a wealth of knowledge for us vets!! Great website!<br /><br />It’s called “Veterans Benefits Network” <br /><br /> I tried to copy and paste website…. Wouldn’t work!!
