After reading the long thread. I think this boils down to an issue of "What is the spirit of the legislation and what was the intention of its creation" not how can I find a loop hole to exploit it.
IMHO VAC and its benefits is there for the wounded and sick and injured due to service. It is not there for spouse after death of a VET and it is not there for the last min claim after a life time of living just to get some coin for the old boy on his death bed "however noble that could sound" If a vet served his country for a few years and 40 years later has some issues one has to look very carfully at the relevance. Now all I have said is heresy and the new charter has changed all these views but the bases of the Spirit of the legislation is Paramount. Sometimes one has to just walk away and say well I could get this but is it right.
