Was your spouse a veteran?
When a spouse dies from a disability connected to military service, the surviving spouse faces the responsibilities of caring for their family, their finances, and themselves while enduring a significant loss.
If you’re the widow of a veteran who died from a service-connected disability, even if the veteran’s cause of death has not yet been service-connected, the VA may owe you Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
Applying for this monthly VA spousal benefit can provide some financial relief during an undoubtedly difficult time. Find out if the VA disability lawyers at Woods & Woods can help you apply for DIC benefits.
Why choose
Woods & Woods
for your VA DIC benefits claim?
You could receive more than $1,653.07 a month.
As the surviving spouse of a disabled veteran who lost their life to a service-connected condition, you can receive a monthly payment of $1,653.07. If you’re disabled or have a dependent under 18, you may be eligible for even more than that. We know financial compensation won’t erase the grief of losing a loved one, but DIC benefits can help you keep up with the bills while you look after yourself and your family.
