I would like to know if the veteran's eligibility was due to a service-related disability rated totally disabling?
they must have had this rating
what rating?
Since his release from active duty and for at least 5 years immediately before his death,o For at least 1 year before their death if they were a former prisoner of war who died after September 30, 1999Note: Totally disabling means that the veteran's injuries make it impossible for them to work.
