Survivors

VA announced a dramatic reduction in processing times for both Veteran disability claims and pension and survivor benefits, which shows that the Trump Administration’s year-long push to make VA work better for Veterans is paying off.

The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced a three-pronged approach to eliminate barriers and streamline the process for how eligible survivors and dependents of deceased Veterans and servicemembers apply for and receive VA benefits and services.

Bonnie Carroll, thank you for those very kind words of introduction, for your steadfast leadership of this incredible organization, and for the vital work that you and your colleagues have done to organize this National Seminar for the past 29years on behalf of the survivors of our fallen Veterans and servicemembers.

VA’s Office of Survivors Assistance answers thousands of emails and phone calls every year assisting survivors with questions and challenges relating to their benefits. That’s what we’re here for. So please, if there’s anything we can do for you, shoot a note to officeofsurvivors@va.gov. That’s officeofsurvivors@va.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
