[@jenacellos614]

What if someone lied and give untrue information of the death certificate, like written the ex divorce wife to the person death certificate as a spouse or a widow instead the legal wife.

[@leapartisala3346]

My father died way back 1986, my mother had not received any VA benifits since my father died. My brother made an appeal with the VA, and the VA recognized him as our mother's representative. The appeal had possitive results & mother's checks started coming in july. My mother was with me in the province & the checks were addressed to my brother who lives in Manila. Because of covid (no flights, delayed mail) in short, my mother was not able to get hold of those checks because she passed away last Agust 8. Could we ( her children) claimed the benifits she would have been receiving before she died? What about the checks issued to our mother? We need advice please, your help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Is the service records of veterans and /or marriage contract sufficient supporting evidences to support DIC claims for the survivors at VA, if records of service connected disability cannot be presented by claimants? Pls consider.

If the Veteran has service-connected conditions that is already evidence of record with the VA. If not, records would need to be provided to support a claim.

VA gives you one year after date of death to file a claim (you would get retroactive pay up to that date). Beyond one year, your pay date would start the month following when your application was received (assuming you qualify).

I am 100% T&P for ischemic heart disease (Vietnam veteran). 100% rating as of 12/2017. Turned down on unemployability because they said i did not need it since I already had 100%. I also have had high blood pressure (treated for past 50 years), sleep apnea, and tinnitis (I think 10% rating for this). Never applied for these other things. My question re: my wife...DIC has income asset requirements. If you count life insurance and savings she will have assets of about $140,000, I know this is close to the "limit". Is DIC reduced as you reach this asset limit or is it 100% so longer as you are under it by a little. Our income per 1040 is less than 10K per year. thank you

My father was boiler tech and served on multiple ships. He was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, as well as cancer somewhere around the bladder that had metatastized. The local va clinic classified it as idiopathic so he couldn't receive benefits. I think his pulmonary issues came from the asbestos in the ship's boiler rooms. Is there any way to get a second opinion?

I would Navy is notorious for having asbestos on ships. Keeps searching online for specific information about his unit ship etc. Also pulmonary fibrosis is on the pact act list of presumed service connected injuries.

Military retirement and VA Survivors Pension are two completely different things. Sounds like he didn't elect SBP so when he died the military retirement ends with him.

[@thelmareed4677]

Why do va say no service connected. If a veteran served he or she should always be considered a veteran.

[@evilload]

service-connected means injury or illness incurred while in service and is being paid compensation by the VA.

[@helenrichardson7490]

I do not receive $1200 a month. I only receive $ 768 a month, for 2021 I will be getting $ 778 a month only a $10 raise???

[@evawitham1511]

Same as me..

[@evilload]

Maybe because you are not getting DIC benefits? Survivors pension is considerably less per month.

So my father passed away due to agent orange exposure in Vietnam he was a 100% disabled and agent orange was the main contributor of his passing. I was told by the VA that I was able to receive his benefits due to effects of agent orange in children mainly boys. But I've tried calling the VA and haven't heard anything back and its really hard trying to talk to anyone that knows anything about agent orange with the VA. I guess I need help trying to figure this out

[@lacrymal1]

My husband went through similar circumstances. I should say, is going through. He has yet to receive anything. They've given him the run-around for years.

[@Psychopappy]

I am a 100% disabled vet due to Unemployability. If I die and it not due to service connected issue can we wife still get dic

[@CCK_Law]

@Pappy Pappy, your spouse may be eligible for survivors benefits if you pass away due to a non-service connected condition if you received TDIU benefits for at least 10 years prior to death. For more information, please check out our blog post: cck-law.com/news/va-benefits-surviving-spouses-children-parents/

[@faithmoore3243]

Did you hear what they said ? You could get the doctor to list whatever problems he had as an contributing factor to his death.

[@ShayWheeler-ne4ib]

If a veteran was 10% service connected disabled for tinnitus but died from heart attack does surviving spouse eligible for benefits

[@XZEUSXGAMINGXTV]

Hello. My Father was a Veteran and passed away in 2004. Unfortunately my Mother left him because he was an alcoholic, and decide to live that life over his family. As a dependant would I be able to receive any benefits? As far as I know he was not active, he wasnt discharged for anything bad, also not sure if he wad receiving any benefits while he was alive. Could you possibly point me in the right direction. Thank You!

[@justice77justice39]

You can get benefits if your father passed with a related illness due to exposure to agent orange.

[@marthaalvarez5611]

What happens if I was not married for a year my husband died he was retired veteran.

[@evilload]

There are some other circumstances which allow for that...you would have to apply to see if you fall under that.

[@DontCare-w5u]

You don’t get anything bye bye get a job

[@izra3457]

My mom is already 61years old.can she still claim the benefits of her deceased veteran father

[@CCK_Law]

@izra, VA offers certain benefits to eligible surviving spouses of deceased veterans. If you are interested, our blog may be able to provide some information for you to determine eligibility. cck-law.com/blog/va-benefits-for-surviving-spouses-children-and-parents/ .

[@joyphoummavong3165]

My dad wasn’t never married or had a spouse and I’m his only daughter, he was bed ridden for 3 months I cared for him , he was housebound and had a disability for 10 yrs he was a Vietnam veteran and my dad come back a nervous person that caused heart problems.

[@joyphoummavong3165]

My dad was 72 and his va check never went up and he never collected his social security., he passed from heart failure, bad bladder , and copd he was honorably discharge.

[@danielalvaradojr73]

Is there a Time Constraint on survivor benefits.

[@judigullett9060]

They sure like to make things complicated!

Hello good morning my GRANDPA is a filipino ,US veterans WW2 PA-USAFEE HE is already a dual citizenship for many he died in he buried in arkansas USA question? We chidren n grandchildren from Philippines can we avail the benefits of the dual citizenship of my lolo

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

Angelita Gomez wow classic Pinoy question

[@evilload]

The most you could claim would be burial benefits if the Veteran met certain criteria. Other than that, no.

[@ramonalong2062]

could a adult child receive DIC if Veteran had PSTD and comited suicide?

[@evilload]

Nope. You are an adult so any benefits would have been terminated no later than age 23.

[@bannlaughlin3544]

My husband and I are both vets. VA told us to get divorced for me to get my benefits. We did Dec 16, 2019. We planned to remarry officially 14 Feb 2020, but he died 10 Feb 2020. Now what?

[@evilload]

You were divorced so you are not considered an eligible claimant. You could file for Veterans pension based on your own service. Seriously, the VA told you to get divorced....

[@bannlaughlin3544]

@@evilload yes, they did tell me to get divorced right in front of my husband. We were just one couple of several that day. October 25, 2017 I believe was the year. I had brain surgery so I have to look things up to be sure of dates but I know it was my birthday.

[@evilload]

@@bannlaughlin3544 The only thing you would be eligible is Veterans Pension (based on your service). This does pay a higher rate (if you do qualify) than Survivors Pension.

[@whathappensnext2212]

If a survivor adopts a child, is the child eligible for claim?
