WashingtonWatch.com - Comments for H.R. 3286, To amend title 38, United States Code, to reduce the period of time for which a veteran must be totally disabled before the veteran's survivors are eligible for the benefits provided by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for survivors of certain veterans rated totally disabled at time of death http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills info@washingtonwatch.com http://www.pjdoland.com/chai/?v=0.1 Comment by Hattie Jefferson (November 28, 2008, 21:47:17) http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_3286.html#46977 My husband passed in 2005 after being service connected with a disability for over 50 years - his disability was 100% initially - then 60% for several years and finally back to 100% in 1998. I was denied DIC because of the 10 years regulation. If this bill is passed, would this cover widows like me? I'm disabled and really depended on his compensation payments. Please keep us informed on this piece of legislation.... 46977@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:47:17 EST
