Berta- Thanks so much for the reply. My dad had PTSD and was on a ton of medications. He was rated a 100% then he would have a hearing and if he said he was feeling ok they would take it away.. it was such a mess. They denied because they put natural causes on the death certificate and my mom did not have an autopsy done. Since it wasnt SC related and he wasnt 100% for 10 consecutive years then denied it. I wrote a letter stating my father should have been rated 100% all along and of course they responded that I "allege" that. They wanted medical proof.. We have alot of his medical paperwork, I am just not sure how to prove he should have been rate 100% all along. My father really died from a heart attack which could have been caused by the medication he was taking, also he couldnt exercise due to that medication and his condition. What are SMRS?

Hi all- I am new to this forum and in need of any assistance. Here is the deal, my father had been rated 100% disabled by the VA off an on for years. He then had his 100% rating for about 6 consecutive years when he passed away. They listed NC on the death certificate. My mother took care of him the entire time and did not work. Now she has been denied benefits because he was not rated 100% disabled for I think 8 consecutive years is what they said.(how can this really be a law?) So now she has no income and no health insurance. The VA is saying tuff. I dont know what I can do... Any ideas? Any responses very much appreciated
