I'm not sure what the VA would cover but if you find out that they would pay for an aid for L let me know.

I'm curious about the respite services... now that SSDI and the VA agree that L is totally disabled (and has respiratory issues to go with) and I'm disabled enough that certain things are /just flippin' impossible/ we could sooo use a hand once or twice a month for the things that either we can't reach (my back being serious unbendy and all) or that involve chemicals that adversely affect L's breathing.<br /><br />I've considered paying someone out of pocket, but if we could get a little help that way it'd be infinitely valuable.
