How do I apply for financial pay for being a caregiver?

You'll need to apply with the VA to see if she qualifies for assistance. Contact your local VA and they'll be able to tell you what you'll need to do to apply. Good luck. The VA can be slow. If she qualifies, benefits will be paid retroactively from the time that the application was received.

The average time for processing varies depending on which office serves your area but it's running six to twelve months behind in Texas.
