Updates 11-13-2014

Received a call from Jonathan at Congressman Cohen's office.  He is so nice and helpful.  Although, they seem to be giving him the run-around too.  He said in order to move forward they need a military questionnaire completed, signed, and sent.  We've done this at least five times since 2010.  The first was in 2010.  The second was in 2011.  The third and fourth were 2013 and 2014.  Now, they are requesting the information again.
  • We filled this out at the VA and submitted it in 2010 
  • The pension denial letter request - still no response from July's request.
  • A representative from CHOICES came and hooked up a monitoring system for him in case he has an emergency, he just pushes the alert button....mind you...he may not remember he has this system at all :/.
  • I compiled all of the information and sent it to Jonathan.  I sent him:
    • The new questionnaire (with the same info from the last 5).
    • A copy of the original from 2010.
    • A copy of the NARA Vetrecs form (original)
    • A copy of the follow-up request to NARA Vetrecs.
    • A copy of the pension letter stating they are "working on it"
    • A copy of the request for pension denial letter 
I hope this information will help.  I am going to call NARA again and call the pension request people again.

I will keep you updated.
