[color=red]Is this annual review due at the end of the calendar year or is it due 1 yr after the benefit award?
Thanks for your input, hope you all have a great Christmas holiday

I am also asking the same question -- I see that you have no responses  I have a response, but still have the same question. Evidently, both you & I applied for benefits in the Summer of '09 and have received an Award Letter effective approx. Sept. 09. Then we received initial back payments with EVR & Med Expense Report. But the accompanying letter is unclear. |

MJ --- Nice to see someone as persistent as I am. Which, is probably why we both obtained funding for our loved ones in a fairly short time. How hard is the EVR question that no one seems to answer straight forward. Common Sense tells me that with all the success stories out there "WE" are surely not the only ones required to fill out an EVR annually??? Come on people give up the info.  |

OK ladies, I think this is what confusing you all about the annual EVR..
You do not receive an EVR in the intial year of award!
The eligibility verification report (EVR) is a VA compliance form that will need to be completed at the beginning of each year. If you are receiving VA pension benefits, you will get one and must return it on time.
The EVR requires you to verify the income and qualified expenses from the previous year. It also allows you to make any adjustments for the coming year.
If you have had large changes to the monthly medical expenses (perhaps now you are paying lower assisted living costs or home care costs or you inherited money or sold a home) and now exceed the limit for benefits, this may interfere with the current benefit award you receive.

EVRs are sent out late Dec into early January. If you don't receive one in the next week or so, it might be advisable to call as the last thing you would want is for the pension to be abruptly stopped due to information not being current.

Vbcoder- sorry about that, i was talking to MJ.
It was late last night so just to clarify what i was trying to say and to who i was saying it too......
MJ, Since you recieved your benefit award after EOM august you will not be recieving the EVR this month(January) like everyone else.
Im almost sure you recieved you award just recently but If I am wrong and you recieved your award before EOM august you will recieve you EVR anyday now. Like Debbie said, They are sent out at the end of december.
Hope this helps...Thx's
EOM means "End Of Month"

Hello,
My father received monthly A&A benefits beginning August 2009 with payment from Feb-Aug withheld because of dementia. He did receive the EVR form in the mail this week to be filled out for Feb 2009 - Dec 2009 and Jan-Dec 2010. I also had a call from a field rep today and set up an appointment next week. Hopefully he will be able to clear up some questions on the EVR for me, such as, "other sources" monthly income do you report the $659 which is the A&A component of the pension for a vet.

I applied for my mother in March of 2009. Received notification of award but withheld because of fiduciary duty. I still have not received any money but did receive an EVR saying it was due by March 11, 2010 which would be one year after application. This is confusing to me since it isn't even a year after the approval of the award (notwithstanding the fact we haven't even received any money).
