Question
Pansy Peacock
My DIC claim was denied saying that I failed to respond to a request for a "long death certificate"
I never received a letter from the V.A. requesting a different death certificate.
I received two different forms of my husbands death certificate. One was 8 x 10 other was 8 x 14. I had included the long form in a clear vinyl sleeve and I'm assuming the person deciding my claim did not remove it, unfold it and look at it.
When I received notification April 5, I went to my DAV rep and he sent them another long form of my husbands death certificate, a SOC stating I had not received the request from the V.A. and a NOD for just in case.
I have asked IRIS two weeks ago for any info with no response. Called Peggy a couple of times to be told they had denied my claim, checked eben's and vets.gov numerous times with the only information being my name.
Does anyone here have thoughts on if my claim goes to the end of the line again or if someone will see the SOC and just do the right thing and follow through. He was service connected BOG Vietnam and his death was secondary to his IHD.
Thank you folks for your time and this board.
