Welcome

The Veterans’ Widows (ers) International Network International Network, Inc. (VWIN) was founded in Denver, Colorado in March 1995.   VWIN is a non-profit organization solely sustained by dues and donations.


Our mission is to
  • Inform veterans' Survivors of benefits for which they might qualify,
  • Help them gather documents needed to substantiate and submit their claims,
  • Direct them to where they will receive best attention,
  • Keep them abreast of legislative changes and news affecting our benefits, and
  • Give all a sense of togetherness with other Veterans’ Widows (ers).

And our goals are

  1. To definitely reverse the Law destined to apply a 29.6% Medicare/Tricare for Life deduction from Medicare Doctors reimbursements fees.
  2. Eradicate the SBP/DIC offset.
  3. Lower down the “10 years waiting period” to five or 7 years.
  4. Review and amend the unfair $100K death gratuity benefit solely reserved  for OEF/OIF casualties
  5. Increase monthly benefits for DIC survivors.
  6. For HR Bill 4403 regarding DIC survivors access to overseas Space-A travel introduced by Rep. Walz to be finalized.
  7. Proclaim a yearly Day of Recognition for all Veterans’ Widows & Widowers and finally,  
  8. to relocate and upgrade the “In Memory Plaque” on the Washington Mall.
