Accessing VA Community Care benefit for Veterans

The VA Community Care (CC) program is a valuable resource that extends assistance to Veterans without the requirement of wartime service or a service-related disability. Eligibility is determined based on a Veteran's qualification for any form of VA medical care. To access CC assistance, the following steps are typically taken:


  1. VA Registration: Veterans must first be registered and qualify for VA medical benefits. This involves becoming a part of the VA medical system.
  2. Medical Assessment: Veterans are required to visit a VA doctor who will assess their specific needs.
  3. Prescription of Services: If deemed eligible, the VA doctor will prescribe the necessary services tailored to the Veteran's requirements.
  4. Assignment of CC Provider: In the case of in-home care agencies like Just Between Seniors, Veterans can directly request assistance from our agency. Once approved, the VA will assign the case to us.

For those Veterans who are not currently visiting a VA clinic, it's essential to complete the VA registration process before utilizing the CC program. This program can provide a range of care, from up to 16-20 hours a week to 24/7 care, along with respite hours as needed.


At Just Between Seniors, we are dedicated to assisting Veterans in accessing the support and care they deserve through the VA Community Care program. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to help you make the most of the resources available to you. Call us today to assist you in navigating options.

Service Related Disability Pay

Accessing Monthly Disability Pay for Service-Connected Medical Issues

Veterans who experience medical issues stemming from their active duty service are eligible to receive monthly disability pay related to those service-connected issues. 

To access this valuable support, it's crucial to follow these steps:


1. Service Exit Diagnosis: The first step is to determine if any diagnoses were made when the service member exited the military. These diagnoses form the basis for potential disability compensation.


2. Initial Compensation: Veterans should already be receiving compensation if they have service-related issues that were diagnosed upon exit from the military. This compensation is essential to address the challenges arising from those issues.


3. Zero-Percent Ratings: In some cases, medical issues may have been assessed with a "Zero-percent" rating initially. Veterans can revisit a VA hospital or clinic to assess whether the condition has worsened over time. If it has, this may entitle them to a monthly disability payment.


At Just Between Seniors, we understand the importance of accessing the financial support available to Veterans with service-connected medical issues. We are here to assist you in navigating the process and ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve for your sacrifices and service to our nation.
