The Supreme Court granted extraordinary review, overturning the Administrative Court's refusal to verify a widow's veteran status. The widow argued she could not prove her deceased husband's combat participation, while the state contended no verification was needed for derivative rights. The court ruled that establishing the factual basis for her derivative entitlement requires a specific inquiry into her husband's status, even if he is deceased.
