disability indemnity claim
My DIC claim was denied stating my decease husband had only been rated 100 percent for four years prior to his death and therfore was not considered totally disabled. He however been rated 60% disabled for at least 12 years prior to his death and also unemployable. Would that not be considered totally disabled? Can I file an appeal on those grounds?
Re: disability indemnity claim
As a general rule, if you disagree with the ruling by the VA I would appeal. File a notice of disagreement as soon as you are able. Contact one of the service organizations such as PVA to assist you.
