Question

Hello

I was awarded 100% PTSD P&T and tinnitus and hearing loss, im now currently married again

I would like to add my family as dependence on to my benefits.

Its been less than 1 year since my award.

I'm confused, do i use form 21-526 or another form or are there other I need for each person? ? ?

I have marriage certificate and birth and ss cards for all, just need to be sure what from to fill out.

do I just mail them in or bring them to the regional office for processing.

Is there anything else i need to bring and or form i need to complete

And how long does it take before they start payments for the increase for the family ? ? ? ?

Thank you for your time and help and guidance please.

Bless All

You and wife has to submit copies of the divorce decree's from all previous marriages as well.

If by chance you can.t find them, you can phone the Superior Court records department of the state the divorce took place and request the copies to be mailed to you, and usually at a small price. You can also have them certified if you needed to.

I want to emphasize the fact that any little mistake filling out the 21-686c form will be delayed until everything is corrected. Even a wrong number on a birth date will throw flags up.

Also, Congratulations on you new marriage!
