My father was a Koren Vet and was receiving 100% disablity payments; however he was rated at 70% disablity.   Mom was fighting to get his rating changed when he passed away from cancer.  They kept telling her it wouldn't make a $ difference so she shouldn't worry about it.   
I'm not sure what to do now.  Do I submit the paper that has the $ amount and his 70% rating on it?  Will they see that he was receiving 100%?  Any help here would me greatly appreciated.

Your application for your mom's entitlement should not be impacted by your dad's disability rating.  It is based on her need for A&A and her monthly income total.

If you have additional quesitons, please let us know, and good luck with the process.
