If the claim in, ultimately, paid, the widow should demand interest be paid from the date the claim was first submitted.

If the dispute persists, the easiest path is to file a complaint with the insurance commissioner in the state where the policy was sold. All insurance is governed by state law. Insurance commissioners are oriented towards the policyholder and will get to the bottom of the matter.

After that, if the claim is paid, the widow can consult an attorney and then consider a lawsuit

No different than any other insurance company. Denied, denied, till smarter lawyer trumps them.
