My father was a 100% disabled veteran who has been in a nursing home for the last few years. His stay there was paid for by the VA. Can I find out what she did with his money?

If she was a joint tenant with right of survivorship on on his account then it was her money as well as his during life and passed to her automatically at his death. That said, if you would be able to prove that her name was merely on there "for convenience" and it was all his money and she was on there as his "power of attorney" then you may be able to argue against her. Achieving that is very difficult and would require that you hire an attorney.
