Could I still be a military dependent?
|
I am 23 years old and a full time student. My dad is in the National Guard. I am also tottally blind. I live out of state and am my own guardian. Someone told me that I could still be a military dependent since I am permanently disabled. Is this true? If so, how would it work? My parents do not financially support me.

First answer is good, The only way you could still be a Dependent, is if totally disabled and unable to support yourself.
Since you are able to do that, you can not be a dependent. |

Since you do not depend upon your parents for support you are not a military dependent based upon your disability. Merely being disabled does not make you a dependent. You must actually depend upon the military sponsor for the majority of your support to be determined a dependent.
You may have been while you were a full-time student over age 21 until your 23rd birthday but since you are aged 23 now you are no longer a dependent. |

no. since you support yourself you are no longer eligible to receive benefits after age 23. |

No you support yourself.
You would have to be 100% dependent on your parents, for your parents to still be able to claim you and you get the benefits from the military. |

Ask your parents to contact the nearest DEERS office...sometimes permenant disablilities will allow you to maintain your dependent status....can't remember if blindness is one of them. |
