Did you know when you have VA health care, there is support for your caregiver, too?
Caregivers of Veterans of all eras can access peer mentoring, a support phone line, a local Support Coordinator and more. These licensed professionals can provide useful information about available services and connect caregivers with other resources in their community.
For injured Post-9/11 Veterans, VA provides caregivers support through the Program for Family Caregivers. This includes enhanced services such as access to health insurance and financial assistance. With the implementation of the VA MISSION Act, the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) will expand to eligible Veterans from all eras of service. Post-9/11 Veterans have benefited greatly from this program and expansion will occur in two phases, starting with those who were injured on or before May 7, 1975. The timeline for this expansion is still under development.
