What Happens To Your VA Benefits After Death? 

True, I was denied DIC, I felt it was contributing, but it’s hard to prove.

Must the death be related or be a contributing factor of cause of death due to the vets service connected disability In order to be eligible for DIC?

I hope you’re correct, I worry about that.

Yes according to the VA they have told me because I have been 100% totally disabled for over 25 years and counting that my wife will qualify even if not service connected

@@wildbill7081 after 10 years, spouse will get regardless if service connect or not.

@@louc8782 Yes it’s true, You either have to pass from a service Connected Disability OR be 100 percent P and T for the spouse to get Compensation. It says it Right on the VA website.

@@donaldrodriguez8134 Thank you Donald, that’s a freaking relief.

Yes..As shitty as this is to say, better hope there is a note,makes things alot easier

Possibly ... It is a tough claim, but it can but done

Jangling my Goddam nerves with that music.

Yes

You only get one year from the date of death unless you filled out an ITF (gives you another year to file). Outside that window it is the date of claim

They won't even answer questions here but they post a video here how to make more money on pension gains with the VA....

Yes, that would be possible. This would not be and easy case. As a Veteran Service officer I have won two such cases one within three months of filling and one at the BVA after about two years. The other VSO that I worked with had a case go all the way to the Veterans Court of Appeals (hired an attorney) and lost. That took about five years.

it can. better to just stay alive for 10 years at 100, then it's a non-issue how you die.

you need to have your 100P&T in place for 10 years, to be able to die of non-service connected issues for the surviving spouse/child to be eligible for DIC benefits. This is an important point as most of our SC issues do not lead to death. Without the 10 years in place, you will need to a have it noted by the coroner that your SC issues contributed to your early demise. So...no suicide, just live long enough so it doesn't matter if you get hit by a bus, or have a heart attack.

@@JustAnotherJarhead so I have to wait another 8 years to make sure my family is ok before I can be released from this miserable existence.

@@payne7761 yes... if you die of something that can not be attributed to one of your ratings. Doesn't have to cause death just aggravate the condition and increase your chance of death. After 10 years, you can get hit by a low flying plane, and its all good. This is why people file more claims even when they are schedular 100.

​@@payne7761unfortunately yes. Until the VA lowers the 10 year rule

you will have the 10 year requirement locked down, you are free to get hit by a bus, and your spouse/child will receive DIC benefits.

Yikes!

are they 18 when you die?

Semper Fi.

@@JustAnotherJarhead “ stay alert , stay alive “ , Semper fi , devil . 💪😎👍
