Survivor Benefits for VA Families – What You Need to Know

When a veteran passes, the VA offers certain survivor benefits that can make a big difference for spouses, children, and even parents.

I just published a breakdown that covers:
• Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) – who qualifies, how it’s calculated, and what evidence is needed.
• Survivors Pension – income-based support for low-income surviving spouses and children.
• Education & Health Benefits – including CHAMPVA and Chapter 35 education assistance.
• Burial & Memorial Benefits – what’s available and how to apply.

It’s not always straightforward, and families often miss out simply because they don’t know what to ask for or how to apply.
