Currently, legacy caregivers in the VA Caregiver Support Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers do not have to appeal, per VA guidance.
Currently, no current participant - legacy Veteran Caregivers or post-expansion Veteran Caregivers - will be discharged due to an eligibility decision made under the current regulation. No further guidance is given at this time.
Disclaimer: All participants may still be discharged at any time for "cause."
