New and Enhanced VA Benefits Provided to Caregivers of Veterans


New and Enhanced VA Benefits Provided to Caregivers of Veterans

VA will also begin providing enhanced benefits and services to caregivers of Veterans of all eras who are already enrolled in VA care, including:

1) Access to VA’s toll-free Caregiver Support Line: 1-855-260-3274,

2) Expanded education and training on caring for Veterans at home,

3) Other support services such as counseling and support groups and referral
services; and

4) An enhanced website for caregivers.

VA will take the opportunity to report to Congress in the future on the feasibility of expanding the enhanced services to family caregivers of Veterans of all eras.
