Yes, a lawyer can represent you in this matter. Such mistakes often occur in death certificates, and no corrections are sought. If the mistake involves such medical matters as cause of death, the agency must have a revision approved by appropriate medical personnel involved in preparation of the certificate. You may wish to check with VA to determine whether such change is necessary for the pension benefits.
