Dad passed away peacefully after a few year battle with ALS a week ago. He was a retired Air Force pilot and was receiving 100% disability through the VA.
Mom is overwhelmed with what to do now... for those that have been down this road, can you please provide me with a list or suggestions on how to go about navigating the waters and what needs to be done in regards to being a spouse of a retired veteran? I know she will be assigned a casualty assistance soldier but we would like to get this process started sooner than later as she has her own health issues and is also terminal with breast cancer.
So... tricare, deers, ID cards, social secuirty, life insurance, etc... what do we need to know and what order can you advise we go in?
Feel free to post here or send me a private message.
