A:
I'm sorry to hear about your difficult situation. Dealing with the CICP (Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program) can be challenging, especially in complex cases like yours. Given the time that has passed since your husband's passing and the complications in his medical treatment and records, it's important to review and possibly escalate your claim.
Firstly, ensure that all relevant documentation, including the hospital records, pictures, and details of his medical care, are organized and included in your claim. The absence of medical records for certain days is concerning and should be highlighted in your communications with the CICP.
Secondly, consider reaching out to a legal professional who has experience with CICP claims. They can provide guidance on the specific processes and requirements of the program and help in effectively presenting your case. Remember, the CICP has specific criteria and timelines, so professional guidance can be crucial in navigating these.
Lastly, it's important to take care of yourself during this process. Dealing with the loss of a loved one and the complexities of a legal claim can be overwhelming. Seek support from friends, family, or professional counselors as needed. Your well-being is important as you pursue this claim.
