<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I am in need of referrals (preferably in Pierce County but elsewhere could also work) for a VA benefits issues. Potential client was in a CIR for many years then married to partner for only 2 weeks when spouse then died. VA is
denying benefits saying couple either had to be married a year or not married at all and prove a CIR for VA to provide benefits – thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
