question re vet benefits

[Cold War Spook]

9. 100% work and divorce.

You are correct that there are two different 100% service-connected disabled. I am 70% disabled due to a service-connected disability, but I am 100% disabled because I am not able to work. As far as divorce and remarriage goes, this applies to the spouse. A spouse that gets a divorce may still keep their CHAMPVA. If the spouse remarries the spouse loses CHAMPVA, but if that marriage ends in divorce or spouse dies, they may get CHAMPVA back. I should have written about the DAV and The American Legion, I have been a member of both since 1999 and they have members that have more knowledge than your VAO in some areas. Work with all three can save you a lot of headache. One other thing for veterans who read this. I am 100% service-connected disabled, but my disability does not have anything to do with being in the service. In other words, even if I had not enlisted in the army, I would still be 100% disabled the difference being in that case, I would be living on $800 SSI, food stamps and Medicaid.
