There are hundreds of eligible children and dependent wives who cannot locate their fathers or spouses. Some servicemen have passed away and the dependents are not receiving the compensation they are entitled to. Panama has no treaty for these dependents with the US like other countries such as Germany. I encourage any one in these situations to get a hold of the Department of Veterans affair at 1 800 827 1000. or write "Department of Veterans Affair, Regional Office and Insurance Center, Box 42954 Philadelphia PA 19101 Include copies of DD form 214, SSN Name of service member and marriage birth certificates. Do not send originals! They will send you a form to fill out8 pages long, VA form 21-534 You might also get this form in Corozal at the VA office there or the VFW in Curundo I think they are still there. I'm doing this right now on another person i know To help her and her dependents out. Great Job Don, However there are many others in Panama who aren’t as fortunate.
