VetCareLog: VA Pension Tracker

VetCareLog helps veterans and families on VA Pension, Aid and Attendance, and Survivors Pension keep every unreimbursed medical expense the VA can count, all in one shared family record.

Many families lose money because receipts get thrown away, drives to the doctor never get written down, and the hours a paid caregiver works are never added up. VetCareLog keeps all of it in one place, so the numbers are ready when it is time to report unreimbursed medical expenses.

A VA PENSION CALCULATOR FOR YOUR EXPENSES
Answer three quick questions and VetCareLog shows what the costs you have documented could add to the monthly pension, using the VA's own formula and this year's official rates. The number grows with every receipt you add. It is an estimate; the VA makes the decision.

SEE WHERE YOU STAND
Add what the VA pays now, and VetCareLog lays it out month by month: household income, the medical costs that come off it, the income the VA counts, and what the VA's formula comes to. A full-year view carries monthly costs like the Medicare premium to December, so you see the real picture early. Every receipt shows what it did.

WHAT YOU CAN KEEP
- Pharmacy receipts, doctor's bills, and insurance statements: snap a photo and the app reads the amount, date, and store for you, right on your phone
- Medicare and insurance premiums taken out of a Social Security check, month by month
- Drives to medical appointments, with the mileage amount worked out for you
- Hours and pay for paid caregivers and in-home aides
- Hearing aids, glasses, medical equipment, and supplies
- Drives to VA clinics, with a reminder to claim VA travel pay
- Family documents the VA asks for: DD-214, VA letters, power of attorney, insurance cards

VA FORM 21P-8416, FILLED IN
When the VA asks, VetCareLog fills in Sections III to VI of VA Form 21P-8416 (Medical Expense Report) from your record, plus a worksheet laid out box by box and a binder of every receipt. A five-point Ready for the VA checklist shows what is still missing first. You never type a Social Security number into the app; you write it on the form, sign it, and send it yourself.

WHEN THE VA LETTER COMES
Enter the dates the letter asks about and the due date. VetCareLog builds the packet for exactly those dates and counts down the days left.

PAYING A FAMILY CAREGIVER
Log hours and payments, and print a simple caregiver agreement to sign.

THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN HELP
Invite a spouse, sister, or son to the same record at no extra cost. Every change shows who entered it and when, so nothing gets entered twice.
