Putting my A&A Improved Pension application together for my MIL who is a surviving spouse of a wartime veteran. She recently moved into an assisted living facility. Have prepared the packet including cover letter and expeditious handling request (age 90) to include:   

VA Form 21-534 including SSA form 24 and continuation sheet
DD 214
Officer Records Brief (WF Form 66)
Marriage Certificate
Death Certificate
SF 180 Request for Military Records
VA Form 21-2680 with continuation sheet
   Nursing Home Status Statement
Report of Resident Physical Examination
Determining Countable Income Worksheet
Social Security Benefits Statement
Survivor Benefits Annuitant Account Statement w DFAS 1099 for 2011
Pension Annuity Benefits, AXA Equitable
NFCU Interest Summary
Financial Plan on how she plans to pay for ALF
Voided Check, Bank of America
VA Form 21-0845


My question do I need to fill out the VA Form 21-0516-1? Is that a form required for the submission packet or does the VA ask for it later? If it is required, I need to know how to get a copy because it is not available from the government sites. It shows up but does not download as the fill-able pdf form. The link must be broken. Are there any other forms that I may need? Help please as I want to get this packet in ASAP to begin the process. Thanks, Austin
