Hi all-

I am new to this forum and in need of any assistance. Here is the deal, my father had been rated 100% disabled by the VA off an on for years. He then had his 100% rating for about 6 consecutive years when he passed away. They listed NC on the death certificate. My mother took care of him the entire time and did not work. Now she has been denied benefits because he was not rated 100% disabled for I think 8 consecutive years is what they said.(how can this really be a law?) So now she has no income and no health insurance. The VA is saying tuff. I dont know what I can do... Any ideas?

Any responses very much appreciated

One other thing you can do is have your mother apply for CHAMPVA benefits so she can have medical insurance.

I'd not apply for CHAMPVA as your mother does not qualify for it.
