Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted January 2, 2019 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 2, 2019 Unfortunately we do not. It's the same situation as getting a tax return from the IRS. No interest. On the bright side, VA payments are tax free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted January 2, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2019 This is largely the reason why VA delays our benefits: They have a "dog in the fight", and can essentially borrow money from the Veteran, interest free, by delaying our benefits for decades. Better yet, the VA can delay us "until we die", and never pay us, as many people simply dont know that their spouse or heirs can continue the claim but only if they promptly file a "substitution of claimant." This form is available here, just in case you are a family member who lost a Veteran: https://www.va.gov/vaforms/form_detail.asp?FormNo=21P-0847 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
