uNDER 38 USC 1318 if a FORMER POW DIED AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND WAS RATED 100% FOR ONE YEAR OR MORE PRIOR TO DEATH A WIDOW CAN RECEIVE DEATH AND INDEMNITY COMPENSATION. I'm still advocating for veterans, their dependents and survivors while I am attending college. One of the people I encountered recently is a homeless disabled man who is not a veteran but is the son of an elderly vet in a rest home who needs help on a claim. This disabled man told me about a former POw's widow who lives in Plains, Montana twenty miles from where I live. From the internet I found out about 38 USC 1318 and told her to apply for DIC because her husband died after september 30, 1999 and was rated 100% for service connected disabilities for one year or more.
