Dependent Pay

[carlie]

Prior to 10/1978 a vet had to have a minimum of 50 % SC to recieve X-tra pay for dependents. After 10/1978 a public law reduced this requirement to 30 % SC.

My 1st SC award had an ED of 6/1978 - SC'd at 40 %.

I've been fighting the VA over 20 years to get the dependent pay due me during the late 70's thru the mid 1980's.

I am the veteran and I am the biological mother of the child.

I have date stamped copies of the 686's I sent in, Birth Certificate, also marriage license, divorce papers etc...

Va has continuously denied me this $$ and always retalliated requesting more info.

My daughter was illegitimate and was 3 years old when I entered active duty.

Going by VA regs I feel they have totally discriminated against me and will continue this fight until they pay me her money.

Anyone out there have anymore advice ?

I feel that the main reason I continue to be denied is that on many of my Control and Award letters, VA has my sex listed as a MALE, and that is why they continue requesting additional information.
