Thxs for the replies everyone...I kind of thought the VA would not reimburse...What had be confused was the directions on form 21-601 section D. ""If there are no living persons who are entitled on the basis of relationship, accrued benefits may be used to reimburse the person or persons who paid for or are responsible to pay the expenses of last illness and burial of a beneficiary.""....Being the "A BENEFICIARY" the confusing part.....Anyway's would like to also add.what little time i have dealt with the VA on behalf of my mother was very frustrating...I could only imagine what some of you have gone through dealing with this agency....It's a shame what a veteran has to do to get what is rightfully there's to begin with...My father who was rated at 80% when he returned home from the army tried for a 100% rating but was turned down several times so he just gave up ..I can see why...Don't give up to those still fighting the fight..

Hello everyone" My dad recently passed away and my mother was awarded a widow's pension with aid and attendance ...Sadly she passed away right after being awarded the pension...The Family payed for my mother's funeral..My question is will the VA reimburse us for the funeral and other medical bills we payed...I was told to fill out Form 21-601 for accrued benefits..I have not spoken to her VA rep yet..It's been a real rough time losing 3 family member's in 10 month's...
