Burial and death benefit applications without your DD214 will not be processed! I speak with too many survivors who have no idea where or how to get a copy. The DD 214 is the basic document used to apply for any and all VA benefits. Download SF 180 or go to archives.gov to request a copy.

It&#39;s there and readily available when needed.
