Question
free_spirit_etc
I got my decision from my September 2013 hearing. I was awarded DIC AND accrued benefits.
I think I will still need to file for service connected burial benefits. I got non-service connected benefits - $600 - once the RO quit losing the burial claim and I adequately convinced them that I buried my husband. But I also appealed that long ago -- on the basis that whether his death was service connected had not been finally decided.
I know I should also be entitled to DEA educational benefits.
I have Tri-Care, so I don't think I qualify for any medical, unless it would be medical that Tri-Care doesn't cover.
Actually, it has been nice just sitting around waiting and not dealing with the VA for awhile.
But with that being said, I want to thank Berta and all the vets and widows who have supported me, educated me, and encouraged me along the way.
And I want to reach out to other widows and tell them NEVER GIVE UP!!!
