Indiana VA Caregiver Support
Indiana caregivers of Veterans can access VA caregiver support through VA Indiana and regional VA health care caregiver support coordinators, including help finding VA caregiver assistance, matching with services and benefits, connecting with local resources and programs, and using national VA caregiver programs.
What it offers
VA Indiana caregiver support coordinators help Indiana caregivers get caregiver assistance available through VA, match with services and benefits, and connect with local resources and programs. VA Indiana health services describe caregiver support, training, counseling, respite, progressive needs planning, and additional PCAFC-related supports when eligible. VA Illiana also provides caregiver support team services, one-on-one support and education, and caregiver support program resources for the Illiana region. National PGCSS and PCAFC services are connected through local VA caregiver support teams and the VA Caregiver Support Line.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Indiana?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?
- 03
Does the veteran’s service history and discharge status fit this program’s rules?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 06
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.

What documents do you need from us to start an application?
