"Stall, Deny and Hope They Die": The VA's Unwritten Policy

The Story of one "FORGOTTEN" Veteran's Widow who fought the VA for over two decades while working full-time, raising three children and completing the VA's insurmountable and required Claims/Appeals paperwork to correct what the VA later described as their "Egregious Error." i.e., The VA paid the Widow's DIC Spousal Benefits to the wrong person for twenty-seven years! With her strong Faith, determination and perseverance, she "WON" her VA Legacy Appeal in 2024! She feels her VA battle was a "Purpose" from GOD she never asked for, but accepted, to encourage others to "Never Give Up."

Every Veteran and their family have a story Congress and America need to hear. As a Veteran's Widow and Military Mom, my heart has typed the words to our story. My Husband of sixteen years, the father of our three children, died from exposure to Agent Orange in 1996. Following his funeral, I applied for my DIC Spousal Benefits - only to be informed by the VA they were paying my Spousal Benefits to a person who had filed fraudulent documents.

I fought the VA's insurmountable paperwork for 28 years and "WON" in 2024!

I pray our story will encourage all Americans to live each day remembering...through relentless faith, love and perseverance, your family, just like ours today, will know, "The Impossible Dream" is, indeed, "Possible."
