Are you paid for taking care of a fully disabled veteran?  

 

Are your questions about your tax return or the tax return of the disabled veteran?

 

Your dependency can only be claimed on one tax return.  If you are claimed as a dependent on the tax return of the disabled veteran, you cannot claim yourself on your own tax return.  Also the reverse.

 

Is this the question that you are asking about?
