Q. I read that Veterans who experienced brain trauma in the course of their service are at a 60% higher risk for developing dementia, while those who have experienced PTSD are twice as likely.
My father is a Vietnam Veteran who suffers from PTSD. His family also has a history of dementia. With his risk factors increased to such a degree and with his memory dwindling about certain things, we should probably plan ahead. Are there any veteran’s benefits can help us with the financial burden a dementia diagnosis can bring? Thank you for your help!
