I used my DEA Chapter 35 benefits to attain my degree at AMU.
First I used the entitlement that VA based on my husband's 100% P & T status at death.
That EED ran out during my degree program but I subsequently succeeded on DMII from AO contributing to death and VA allowed me to choose a new entitlement date (within their DEA parameters) .(and they paid retro of about 6 thousand I had to pay when my DEA ran out.)
I have a year left on the new 2009 Certificate of Eligibility based on my 2009 BVA AO DMII death award.
I might return to college in a few months and this is my question.
My 2012 Nehmer Award letter ( death due to AO IHD) confirms that I already get DIC. If I didn't get it for the DMII AO claim, Nehmer would have awarded it in 2012.They also made a statement as to Chapter 35 and enclosed the 22-5490.
Does anyone think it is worth my while to ask for a new Entitlement date for DEA based on my January 2012 Nehmer decision?
Each of my 3 DIC awards trumped the past DIC awards.So I am thinking I should request a new Chapter 35 Certificate,with an entitlement date that the Nehmer award reflects
Does that make sense?

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