There's definately room for improvement; my grandmother is a two-time
war widow (her first husband died in combat and her second husband died
as a result of being a POW) and she gets less in benefits from the

Of course, the ex-POW --had shrapnel in his brain and contracted
hepatitis at Stalag 17B-- wasn't even considered disabled until after he
died at which point they determined he should have had
100% disability all along.
