I currently have a lot of personal issues ongoing and cannot get my head on straight. Can one of you help me? I have a vet who died of liver failure nicotinism, alcoholism, and cancer of the esophagus. No service connection was ever filed UNTIL after he died which the VARO then said death it was not service connected. Widow is on pension and overpaid because of Social Security, so I guess what I need to do is file for ???? to get him service connected. He is a Vietnam era vet, has the Combat Action Ribbon, USMC, and did his three years and got out died at age 40 from the illness mentioned. I currently have a DIC in but VARO said she had been denied before. Any how I am all screwed up where to go or what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
