Vet 'appeals' His Death

[Berta]

“Two tours in Vietnam didn't kill Marine Cpl. Tony Johnson, but the Department of Veterans Affairs did -- at least on paper.

Johnson is upset, especially for a dead man.

"March 7th, 2012, is the date that the VA has finally killed me," the former Marine said.

The Department of Veterans Affairs sent him a letter addressed to his ex wife on March 26. The letter contained condolences to his ex-wife for Johnson's recent death.”

it gets worse=they sent her apparently some DIC????

"No sooner had Johnson sent the widow's check back to the VA when he discovered the government had deposited $3,354 into his personal bank account.

"That's a lot of money! There are veterans living under bridges that don't have 33 cents," he said.

Johnson also worried how his alleged death might affect his benefits. He is 100 percent disabled, mostly due to severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Right now I can't tell you a 100 percent why that happened," said Al Bocchiccio, regional director of the Department of Veteran Affairs."
