WASHINGTON — Too often, casualty assistance officers don’t have the financial and technical information families need when a servicemember is killed, a panel of military widows told Congress on Thursday

Jennifer McCollum, whose husband Dan was killed in a plane crash in Pakistan in January 2002, told senators her medical coverage has been disrupted twice over the last three years and she was never informed about financial and legal support services.

At one point, she moved from Florida to California to be closer to an available military treatment facility, only to find out a few months later she could no longer use those medical services.

“I am discovering that casualty assistance is increasingly failing miserably and disgracefully,” she said. “Successful assistance is not the rule; it is quite the exception.”

1. This is the crap I have been wondering about

It looks like the short-change tactics for death benefits has come out and been put on public display. This was something I suspected, and is now confirmed in part. The proof of fraud will slowly come out and be made public. I just hope this happens sooner than later...
