We can provide you with all the forms necessary to start the application process.
In addition, you should begin the process of gathering the necessary documentation to be filed with the application. Documentation needed will include original discharge papers, marriage certificates, birth certificates, and financial records.
The process of applying for this benefit can take up to a year. This timeframe can be substantially reduced if you work with individuals or companies who are familiar with this process. We have seen this approval process take less than four months if the paperwork is properly submitted on the first attempt. The payment of the benefit will be retroactive to the first day of the month following the day of application. In other words, you will receive a lump sum distribution of several months of benefit when approved. If you need help in completing and filing this paperwork, give us a call at 520-270-9777.
Additional Information
