Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to start a claim?

You MUST have a copy of your DD-214 to start anything with the VA.

The VA filed a claim for me and I was rejected, what do I do now?

They may have filed it wrong or did not have enough evidence to support your claim; I will try to find another way we can present your claim to the VA in a way it will be accepted.

What is my wife entitled to?

IF you are getting Compensation or Pension, and you pass away; she MAY receive a percentage of your monthly check, depending upon her monthly income.

Can I be buried in a State Cemetery?

Yes; there is a wait time for internment and the cost has been cut to $200.  Markers are at no charge to the family.
