Can you work or will you be able to work and make 20000 per yr and be on CIA & CIA S?

You can work, and receive CIA, as long as you meet the physical limitations criteria

Just applied for this, can't see them approving it cause I still work but have issues every day and a combined DA for 70%. Anything else I should apply for while still working?

i don't mean reduce it but if they going to pay the full amount end of January like last few times for us i don't think starting 1April that she would start getting the 1k a month be real nice if she did but i just don't think thats how they going to do it will wait and see but as for paper work was very easy to fill out

i dont think they can reduce it, as the beneficiary changes from the Vet to the caregiver.

not sure how it will work with the new one starting 1 april i think i will get normal amount then when it goes live they will pro rate to what i got so should start sometime in july or aug for me for the new monthly amount

thanks mine is up for renewal jan 24 and they didnt send me anything. my CM has one for me in the office though. does it take a long time to process?
also do you know if we get the full amt? bc of the crb in april.?

yes i have done several they sent me out a forum to fill out saying that i gave the money to my caregiver to us how ever they seen fit which was my wife then i also had to get her to sign forum and send it back was nothing to it the several times i have done it as well mine resets every January and they mail out and send on my vac account so i can fill either way i choose around oct time

has anyone done a renewal for the FCRB?
