Berta Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have been a member for years and Gold Star Wives aggressively fights for widows/widowers and all survivors regarding VA benefits.I think they might have some GSW service officers but their main function does not involve individual claims, geared more towards legislation that would benefit many. They have proposed all sorts of legislation and ,in my opinion,they get more done for survivors of veterans than any other vet org does and have given testimony to H VAC and S VAC. The link I gave you -this is more information----Colonel Dan sent it to me from someone else: "Please understand that this refers to Tricare, Prime and not Tricare for Life. Some are misintrepting that. So far as I know there are no proposed increases to the Tricare for Life program. TFL is related to Medicare, Part B. Please read the below article from American Forces Press Service in its entirety. http://www.retirees.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123237358" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
