This question probably has never been asked before, because I have never heard of anyone walking out on it, but it has to do with VA Headstones.
Veteran died and after the Funeral , the person that was supposed to fill out the VA Headstone forms , along with the reimbursement for the Plot and whatever Burial/ funeral expenses that the VA will reimburse; NEVER FILLED OUT THE FORMS !! Apparently, they are either too busy, or don't know how the heck to fill out the forms!
Now, my questions:
1. If they decide not to fill out that form, the Veteran is going to be left with just a temporary marker. That WILL NOT DO !! Can someone else go ahead and fill out those forms to get a VA Headstone on that Grave ?
2. What happens to the reimbursement from the VA for the Plot and the Burial expenses if the receipts are in the name of the person that decided NOT to fill out that paperwork, and someone else fills out the paperwork and sends it in to the VA ?
