First, contact your local VA center (I know, I know. It takes forever to get a human being). Alternately, you may want to go to the VA Web site and search.
I would also go to your State Web site and look under aging services to see what help is available for caregivers. Just type in the name of the state and you should find their main site. They may use a different name than aging services, but it will be similar.
Each state is different, but this is a good way to search for local benefits and services.

I keep reading where Congress is going to make more money available for caregivers, but it will likely be funneled through the states, so keep tuned to your state and the local service contact.
Good luck,
