District Court, E.D. Michigan January 28, 1982, Civ. A. 80-71999 (Brooks v. Cleland)

OPINION

GILMORE, District Judge.

This action challenges defendants’ determination that plaintiff is not entitled to retroactive dependency and indemnity compensation benefits for the death of her nephew, Gordon Butler, and is before the Court on cross motions for summary judgment.

Gordon Butler, a deceased veteran, was in active military service from February 1968 to December 1970.
