This month’s issue:

  • VA to expand caregiver program for legacy Veterans – The VA is extending eligibility for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) through September 2028 for certain Veterans.
  • Need help with travel costs for a VA health care appointment? – If you’re eligible, VA may reimburse you for travel expenses like mileage, tolls, parking, and pre-approved meals and lodging.
  • Advanced Travel Notice Requirements – Due to a growing number of patients neglecting the required two-week notification for travel, we want to reiterate the importance of timely communication.
  • Fire Safety Goes Beyond “Just Smoking” – As patients using oxygen, it is crucial to remain aware of potential fire hazards.
