Question
Berta
I have a widow whose husband had told me years ago he had been shot in Nam (ie PH)
and the residuals were compensatable (but he told me he sent the VA comp money back to the VA )???
I did not see the PH in his pictures while in full uniform at his funeral- but did not discount what he told me.
It is possible he never got the actual PH medal (Nam vet)
However-it should be on his DD 214- then again always possible it isnt-but that he deserved it-
The wife is useless in getting any info from her but she wants DIC- long story there- maybe a death pension-
she claims she doesnt know if he was shot or not-
My question is- I just sent her to my local vet rep because she never filed out the 21-534 I sent her over a year ago and maybe he can get more info from her than I could)
(I also had sent her a SF 180 and also a DD 149 to get the DD 214 corrected -she does not know where his DD 214 is but she never followed up on those forms either)-
question- the circumstances of this GSW-which he said he was hospitalized for- would there always be a write up from his CO in his service records or would the fact that a MASH or maybe a shipboard hosp off Vietnam coast ,treated him for GSW be enough to prove he deserved the PH? with no CO write up?
Maybe it is why he came home from Nam but I thought he said he had a regular DEROS-and went back into the field after some extensive hospital treatment.
Thanks all-
