I want to thank all of you for your guidance through this mess of getting my DIC and Social Security Death Benefit. There is so much information about the documents needed that the Veteran Association and Social Security do not explain completely to you. Through trial and error and with all your help I finally was able to provide the paperwork they actually needed.
I sent a total of 214 pages of information that the VA told me to send, ONLY to find out at the end I only had to send "5" of these pages in for the award to be granted. Go figure, I can't figure it out.
A veteran I was speaking with said he believes the VA does this to prolong the process. I do not know what to think.
Anyway, I thank all of you for all your help and my prayers are with anyone applying for benefits through the VA or Social Security.
