Marti Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I heard this bill was to be signed this month..has anyone heard different or do they know why it is taking a minute? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kydale Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ........ah, yeah.......it's a "proposed" rule that has not been enacted yet............and, it states in the "proposal" that any veteran WITH SERVICE-CONNECTED ALS should receive 100%. And, I know that for some of us that term "service-connected" does NOT mean anything but years of hassle and denials. I'm SURE, though, that the VA would NEVER drag their feet when it comes to hurrying up and paying 100% disability to some veteran with a FATAL disease........................as long as they are "service-connected"..................... I'm sorry, I know that you wanted to post some "good news", and I appreciate that.........I'm just suffering from a terminal case of "realism", acquired from over-exposure to the VA. GOOD INFORMATION. THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 That is Horrible. Ironically that was the anniversary date of my husband's death due to AO. If he left a surviving spouse by all means have her join hadit and she should go to the DIC forum here and ask for advice. I will be sure to see her posts there. I used our search feature for Zen but cannot determine the status of his VA claim in his lifetime. If it is still in process she can substitute herself as the claimant for retroactive accrued benefits and for a possible DIC benefit award. He was so happy when the ALS regs came out. This is just terrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justrluk Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Another tragic loss of wisdom. I really hope (as Berta mentions) that his spouse can log in and get educated when she's had a while to get things settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is active now. It is published in the Federal Register and will remain as Proposed until the comment period is complete.
