Spouse and Dependent Benefits

Helping Families Access Benefits After a Veteran’s Passing

Did you know that a veteran’s service connection for disabilities can be posthumously awarded? This can open the door for qualified dependents to receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits.

Here’s how it works:
If evidence shows a veteran’s death was caused by or related to a service-connected condition—even if the condition wasn’t recognized as service-connected during their lifetime—a claim can still be filed. This can make a significant difference for surviving spouses, children, or parents who may qualify for DIC benefits.

Our team has worked closely with countless veterans and their families to obtain DIC benefits. We’ve seen how these benefits can bring financial relief and recognition of a veteran’s sacrifices. If you know someone who might benefit from this information, please encourage them to explore their options.

Let’s ensure no veteran’s family is left without the benefits they deserve.
