We had a domestic partnership started in PA in 1984, dated in military 1982. No work in PA required out of state work, and in state, and some out of country, but home offices based in CA so we bought a CA home years later for future and special child. A work accident in 1998 , in one of many states traveled in for work and 95% 3rd degree burned.. eventually shipped back to CA hospitals in the home office state CA (workers comp. and then burn specialists, he suffered 12 years and died of that accident in 2010). Buried back in PA but reported death in CA and I, his domestic partner kicked out of the office as a Domestic Partner. Re applied in PA. Many appeals and all denied. It seems that there would be some law protecting a domestic partner of a man life flighted and serious injuries with medical procedures in other places. We are not same sex. No legal help can be found and Congressman only showed them out CA drivers Lc. ID's. Many years of papers, bills, trusts, court docs., photos, final arrangements, and social security denies, as well as implies I lie about all this. As he supported me many years I have no credits of my own. His special child is legal age and does not want to apply for benefits, so we struggle to get by. His trust disowned a number of women who claimed fake children and wife status in these years. I am disabled but not a recognizable disability for Social Security as a woman with A S., as well as they said my credits were not high enough. I have read about a way to apply as a federal widow- shown under some past cases, but can find no legal help in this matter. That's my problem.
