Financial Literacy Month provides an opportunity to get caught up on often overlooked end-of-life planning. VA offers programs to assist with end-of-life planning and help ease the burden on family members when a Veteran passes.
If you’re the survivor of a Veteran who died from a toxic exposure-related condition, you may qualify for new benefits like the VA DIC Program.
New legislation has expanded eligibility for VA DIC. If you’re the survivor of a service member who died in the line of duty or a Veteran who died from a service-related injury or illness, you may qualify.
