VA dependant claim completed 04-14-16

[USMC714]

Hi, everyone...

My dependency claim (my mother who lives with me does not work due to stage 4 cancer) was completed 04-14-16 (filed it 01/14/2014) and it still shows nothing in my AB8 letter.

Is this mean most likely I will get denied?

Thank you

85% of first time claimants get denied.  This said, Allison said that dependents is a no brainer..you either are or are not a dependent.  

Do you provide half her support?  Does she live with you?  Does she have insufficient income /assets to support herself?  

Unless you provide the wrong answers to the above, then yes, you should get dependency.  But there are always glitches.

Yes, she lives with me and I pay for everything.. she cant work due to her illness and i also take care of my dad as well. He is already in my file as dependent since two years ago. Just my mom is taking forever..

I gave them her information and filled out the form where I put down I pay for her everything and no income on her.

Just hoping for the best... she does not have health insurance either so I have been paying cash so far..

Called Peggy and they wont tell me anything until I get the brown note.. guess I will just have to wait until I get that brown packet in the mail.

So far still nothing on AB8 letter and nothing in my dependent list in Ebenefits.

GOOD LUCK.
