I began applying for my brother to receive disability from the Vietnam war in 1999. He was awarded 50% in 2000. I asked for a increase in 2004 as his condition had worsened. He was denied. I filed an appeal. We waited until May of this year for a hearing via satellite in St. Louis, MO. Received 100% order on July 1, 2008. Received award letter October 8, 2008. Received a phone call from the Guardianship Dept in Chicago. They stated I must become Court Appointed for my brother. I have been a Fidicuary since 2002 and Legal Custodian since 2002. I also have a POA for property since 2001. Why do they want me to be court appointed now. I have been taking care of his VA payments and all of his financial since 2000. Please advise me.
