Does anyone know anything about this VA program?

My company is going to start requiring us to work in the office three days a week which will make taking care of my sister challenging and I may have to stop working. I'm wondering about this program.

Has anyone applied for it?

    Marp there was at least one previous poster who successfully pursued getting her DH categorized as "catastrophically disabled." This may be essentially the same thing. Can't hurt to ask.

    Thank you.

    My sister is rated at 70% for a service connected disability which, I think, qualifies her for more benefits than the catastrophically disabled category. That's what I'm finding anyway.
