I’m very happy that your congress critter and NPRC at St. Louis came through for you and that they have issued a declaration of your father having a honorable discharge.

Now to get your sister shifted into gear to apply to the VA for help for your mother.

I am glad my father's name has cleared. I hope he knows. That alone is a major victory, and we all have the paperwork to prove it cuz I shared it with everyone in the family.

My sister, on the other hand, is saying that if my mother is granted VA benefits, she would lose her Medicare/Medicaid because she would make too much money, and that would financially put her into a big debt hole, thereby requiring for my sister to have to fork out funds on my mom's behalf out of her own pocket. Also, if my mother was able to keep her Medicare/Medicaid, AND get the VA benefits, then anything over $52 each month would be confiscated by the nursing home.

That's all mind-blowing crazy. If she just goes with what she gets from Medicare/Medicaid, and doesn't go over $52 in her bank account, she's fine. But if gets VA benefits, then the Medicare/Medicaid gets cut off, and the VA benefits wouldn't be enough to cover the shortfall.

Typical government idiocy.
