Benefits for Veteran Spouses: DIC vs. Survivor's Pension

[@janettecarrell]

I wish that you would have address the DIC Benefit of a Veteran that served during the Vietnam War.

[@jakejennings5152]

Don’t rely on a VSO to file your claim for you… you can research it and file it yourself in a fraction of the time and for free; I started w a VSO and they didn’t do a darn thing for an entire year

Great video good information no one talking about

I have a question My husband was given 0% for hypertension and he passed away this past January I get the dic but now I'm wondering if the pact act will raise the % rate if he passed because of in part to heart disease If so how do I do that? I know they changed and raised some pact act ratings but not sure if It would effect his claim

[@valariecovington8379]

Good information 👍, can a spouse receive both of these benefits after death of the veteran...? Thank you.

[@etcharrisons9483]

Quite possibly yes.

I have champ VA and did I need a care giver can I get one?

[@ireneguerra386]

The Veteran didn’t die from a service-connected illness or injury, but was eligible to receive VA compensation for a service-connected disability rated as totally disabling for a certain period of time

[@ireneguerra386]

No one ever includes what I just posted above.

@@ireneguerra386my husband passed November 10th. He was 100%. I was told they would soon start sending me DIC payments.

If my daughter had child with a service member and passed away. Does she get DIC?

[@etcharrisons9483]

The child can apply for DIC and if the application is approved the child can receive the benefit until age 18.

My late husband was 100% P&T. He paid into SGLI for 30 years to make me eligible to receive 55% of his retirement. He served 28 years. Which of these would apply to me?

[@etcharrisons9483]

The VA at one time had said that if the spouse had SBP that the spouse can not receive DIC also. Check with the VA and see what rules are in place now.

You talk so slow that it's painful to watch. Get to the point.
