Warrior Allegiance

Welcome to Warrior Allegiance, where we provide valuable insights and assistance for veterans and their families navigating the complexities of death gratuity claims. As an organization founded by veterans and staffed by individuals who understand the challenges veterans face, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Understanding Death Gratuity

Death gratuity is a crucial aspect of veterans’ benefits, providing financial assistance to eligible survivors following the death of a service member. At Warrior Allegiance, we recognize the importance of this support and strive to ensure that veterans and their families receive the assistance they deserve.

Defining Imminent Death

Imminent death, as defined by the Department of Defense (DoD), refers to a service member who is terminally ill and expected to pass away within 72 hours after release from service. This classification is essential for determining eligibility for death gratuity benefits. Warrior Allegiance is dedicated to helping veterans and their families understand these definitions and navigate the claims process effectively.

Jurisdiction and Eligibility

Determining jurisdiction for death gratuity cases is crucial, especially in imminent death scenarios. The Cleveland Regional Office (RO) plays a significant role in processing these claims and ensuring timely payment.

Assistance for Non-Imminent Death Cases

In cases where death is not imminent, jurisdiction remains with the station of origination. However, questions regarding jurisdiction can arise, and Warrior Allegiance is here to provide guidance and support. Our team understands the complexities of these cases and ensures that veterans and their families receive the assistance they need.

Eligibility Criteria and Payment Process

Eligibility for death gratuity is based on various factors, including the circumstances of the veteran’s death and the conditions of their discharge from service. Warrior Allegiance helps veterans, and their families understand these criteria and ensures that all necessary documentation is provided to support their claims.

Issuing Certificates of Eligibility

The issuance of certificates of eligibility is a critical step in the death gratuity process. Warrior Allegiance works diligently to ensure that these certificates are prepared and sent to the appropriate service departments in a timely manner. Our team understands the importance of expediting this process to provide financial support to grieving families promptly.

Addressing non-eligibility

In cases where veterans or their families are found to be ineligible for death gratuity benefits, Warrior Allegiance provides compassionate support and guidance. Our team helps navigate the appeals process and ensures that veterans and their families understand their rights and options moving forward.

Providing Compassionate Support
