Handling Claims for Restored Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS) Benefits Explained by Warrior Allegiance

At Warrior Allegiance, we are committed to providing unwavering support to our nation’s veterans and their families. As an organization founded by veterans, for veterans, we understand the challenges that come with transitioning back to civilian life and navigating the complexities of disability compensation claims. In this guide, we’ll explore the Restored Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS) and how Warrior Allegiance can assist veterans in handling their claims.

Understanding REPS

REPS, established under Public Law (PL) 97-377, Section 156, aims to restore benefits that were terminated as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (PL 97-35). This program provides vital support to surviving spouses and children of veterans who passed away while on active duty or from service-related disabilities incurred before August 13, 1981.

Assistance with Handling REPS Claims

Navigating the claims process for REPS benefits can be complex, but Warrior Allegiance is here to provide guidance every step of the way. When handling claims for REPS benefits, the St. Louis Regional Office (RO) takes specific actions, including establishing end products (EPs) for controlling REPS claims and ensuring timely resolution.

Authorization Activity Determinations of Basic Eligibility

Our team at Warrior Allegiance understands the importance of determining basic eligibility for REPS benefits. The St. Louis RO’s authorization activity plays a crucial role in this process by preparing memorandum decisions indicating whether REPS entitlement exists and obtaining second-signature approval when necessary.

Rating Claims for REPS Benefits

Rating claims for REPS benefits requires careful consideration and evaluation. The St. Louis RO’s rating activity determines basic REPS eligibility through formal death ratings and reviews service treatment records to establish the onset of conditions contributing to death. Warrior Allegiance is dedicated to ensuring that veterans receive the benefits they rightfully deserve.

Actions to Take After Determining Basic Eligibility

After determining basic eligibility for REPS benefits, it’s essential to take the appropriate actions. This includes notifying claimants of REPS disallowance when applicable and handling any disagreements with decisions involving REPS benefits with care and diligence.
