Had a case right here on Classracer (ChrisOK) where 92 year widow (FL) of a WWII vet had applied for a wartime pension once her husband had passed. She was living off $625 a month Social Security. 14 months waiting and no response from the determination Center (PA). I set a fire under her Congressman and the Director of the FL Veterans Affairs. She got her pension and back pay to the date of the death of her husband. Each situation will differ and I am a firm believer that the approach must also be different in each case.
I am a life-time member of DAV and they proved instrumental in my first claim in 1996 but less effective in subsequent claims.
