From the Mailbag

A milspouse with two Autistic children sends this information:

Today I found a mention that Tricare is visiting their ECHO policy as it applies to Autism...  this is a HUGE deal and we need to spread the word that they are looking for input from families affected personally.

Here is the page

As a mother of two little guys with Autism this is near and dear to me.

If you have Autistic children, please take the time to offer your input. TRICARE will accept comments/suggestions through January 31. If you have any questions about this topic, leave them in the comment section. The spouse who sent the email is willing to lend her expertise with Autism to anyone who may have questions.

I have a question about housing pay. Hubby is a Marine and is in CA right now while I wait in MO for our first baby and news on where he will be going to school. Anyways, I was wondering when the houseing allowence would go into effect. I haven't been able to get a straight answer yet :( Thanks

Please fill me in on what benifit they are offering to military families. These last four years have been the hardest years that I have ever had because I have been fighting for services for my son and we were stationed at Ft. Stewart ( high deployable ) base. please email me back so I can email tricare with my input.

Thanks
