Ok guys, i need help. Im a bit confused, or maybe its a case of way too much over thinking, and not getting clear, consise answers.
My husband was refused Oct 23rd due to a missing death certificate for my previous spouse. NO PFL was sent, just flat out refusal. We appealed right away.
Now, heres what im not understanding.
Immediately i got a letter from an ERO stating the reason for refusal.
They asked for additional evidence by a certain date, and i sent it to them.
I do not have the death certificate (its a long process and difficult to obtain) but i do have pics of his headstone, receipts from the funeral home, an affadavit from my mother stating knowledge of his death, a newspaper article of when it happened, and information on the process of getting the death certificate. I also included a certified copy of the application for "form D" by the coroners court needed to obtain the death cert.
I thought that i would have to get evidence down the line, after getting some kind of blue book? When does that come? Is the fact that the letter is signed by an early resolution a good thing, or generic for all appeals? I was told by someone that the IAD will contact me within 30 days, but now i read that it will be no sooner than 120 days and this "blue book" will come.
Im so confused. Does this blue book come with a hearing date?
