Good evening. I have to organize a burial, but I fear that I won't qualify for burial benefits. What will happen if I get rejected?
I'll gladly explain. We'll send you a denial decision letter explaining the reasons or basis of our denial. We'll also send you a form called Your Rights to Seek Further Review of Our Decision VA Form 20-0998 along with your denial letter. This form explains your rights to appeal or to request another review, and how to submit more evidence.
Are you wondering how much time you have to appeal the decision or request another review?
