Hi,

I'm confused about whether or not my dad is considered a veteran when it comes to benefits concerning demdntia assistance. I'll explain-- he was in the navy and was injured and ended up in the hospital for over 18 months. The injury wasn't duty related-- it was a car accident, but he was medically discharged and has received disability benefits since then--- 1961(?). he didn't serve during a war but I'm not sure since he was medically retired if that enabled him to receive the benefits that are offered for veterans that need 24/7 caregivers help.

Thanks, Beth a confused daughter
