About
Surviving spouse, child, or parent of a service member who died in the line of duty, or the survivor of a veteran who died from a service-related injury or illness, may be able to get a tax-free monetary benefit. If qualified, the survivor can get tax-free monetary benefits. The amount received depends on the type of survivor (e.g., surviving spouse, child, or parent). An intent to file form may be submitted before applying for DIC benefits. This can give time needed to gather evidence while avoiding a later potential start date.
