A woman who helped launch The Captain Sir Tom Moore charity appeal said she was " cut out" by The Family and told not to talk about it.
Daisy Souster, 31, said she provided Public Relations services to The Family early in the fundraising campaign.
In a She Said she was told by Capt Sir Tom's daughter she had " no right" to talk about her role.
Hannah Ingram-Moore, Capt Sir Tom's daughter, was asked to comment.
Capt Sir Tom raised More Than in April 2020 by walking up and down his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. He died in February 2021.
Former University of Northampton student Mrs Souster said she was approached by The Family to write The Press release, which kick-started the Capt Sir Tom Story , before sending it to her list of media contacts.
She also claims to have Set Up the JustGiving page and managed Capt Sir Tom's X account, formerly known as Twitter.
However, in June 2020, her services for the Ingram-Moores came to a sudden halt.
" Initially The Family were extremely supportive of me and thankful for All That I had done, but for reasons unknown to me, they changed, " she wrote on LinkedIn.
Mrs Souster, who had been entered into five awards with the Public Relations trade magazine PRWeek, said that " a week later I was told by Hannah Ingram-Moore [Capt Sir Tom's daughter] that I had no right to talk about my work/involvement with the PR. "
A spokesperson for Haymarket PR, the publisher of PRWeek, told The Bbc : " In 2020, Hannah Ingram-Moore stated to PRWeek that The Captain Tom Family and its representatives do not give permission for anyone to enter Captain Sir Tom to the PRWeek Awards.
" Consequently, any submissions entered for Captain Sir Tom were removed. "
It was After This that Mrs Souster said she " severed ties with The Family ".
" I had a young child at The Time , a partner who was on furlough and we were in a national lockdown, " She Said .
" The Change in attitude towards me caused me untold distress as I started to see my work accreditation Taken Away from me. "
She added: " Captain Tom was a true beacon of hope during those dark times for all of us. It deeply saddens me that after such success the debacle unfolding is shadowing his sterling efforts. "
Weeks before Mrs Souster stopped working for the Ingram-Moores, in May 2020, Capt Sir Tom announced plans on X to share his autobiography.
Tomorrow Will Be a Good Day was published four months later, and appeared to credit Hannah Ingram-Moore with the PR campaign.
" After Her years In Business and running a company of her own, she knew exactly what to do. She [Hannah Ingram-Moore] wrote a press release and it was sent out locally, " he wrote.
Capt Sir Tom's autobiography also credited her as having " quickly Set Up a JustGiving page".
Earlier this month, during an interview with broadcaster Piers Morgan she Revealed - from her father's three books.

There is no suggestion Mrs Souster was " cut out" due to The Book deal.
