Question
Berta
I am helping a widow who claims her husband never received any VA comp.
In his hunting cabin years ago I saw a DAV license plate and asked him if it was his-
He said yes but he never would accept any VA comp.He said he 'gave them the money back'.?
This is a difficult claim for my vet rep and I am trying to help the widow support potential DIC- it will be difficult- Vietnam vet-suicide- she claims he had no VA disabilty rating, no PTSD , so never got any help-
but then she indicated to me that maybe he did see a private shrink-she just could not remember---she has not found his DD 214 yet.
It is possible he did not share much of Nam with her at all---he told me he had GSW and residuals.
Based on other things he told me, it appeared that he was dealing with PTSD too.
To get a DAV license plate I thought one had to provide the DAV with proof of some service connection rating. Is that true?
Even if a veteran (who did not work for wages for years-but yet was in a lot of volunteer services) gave the VA the comp back-possible-
it would still be on the books that he was service connected - right???
I am in an awful position- the vet and I had many conversations about Vietnam.
His wife never knew we had talked about it-she has never mentioned his GSW and residuals -
I guess she though we always talked about the fire department we were in - our main connection--
she does not corroborate a thing he told me.
She has no idea I was in his hunting cabin-or their home or that he was ever here.
I just hope my vet rep is able to check this all out as to his actual VA comp status.

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
