Question
atomicwidow
administrator: can you please start this as a new topic under "specialized claims" not under DIC? Thanks, I can't see where to do that.
I'm a widow of an atomic vet (died 9/2013, USN, onsite for several atmospheric nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, Operation Castle). I'm wading my way through the applications for surviving spouse VA benefits. I'm hoping to learn more and share what I know about RECA (Radiation Exposure Compensation Act). I've already received the RECA award because my husband's cancer was on the the DoJ/RECA "presumptive" list. I believe that will establish his death as 100% service connected for the VA and open the door for DIC, CHAMPVA and other minor benefits. I'm 5 months in to that claim. Anyone know how long this type of claim will take?
Anyone have wisdom to share? I know quite a bit about the RECA application process and criteria, so maybe I can be a resource to anyone with RECA questions.
