I recently went to the VA to see if my mother qualified for VA nursing home benefits. They seemed concerned that my mother didn't receive any income from the my father's Navy retirement. How may I find out whether she should have received anything since the time of my father's death. My father passed away in 1993.

He chose not to selet the survivors benefit plan for me, his wife of forty-one years. The military had nothing in place to inform me of what I forfeited in 1974. Threfore, upon the death of my husband can I appeal for the survivors benefits. If so how do I go about that. DM
