I know this has probably been asked before, but trying to find things (Regardless of where on the internet) makes my head hurt, so please bear with me. I'm just trying to make sure our finances are in order and make sure my wife is taken care of when I'm gone. This DIC Eligibility is confusing, as I believe it's intended to be.
So;
I retired from AD in 2004, with an initial 50% rating. My ex gets my SBP.
I filed for increases periodically between 2007 and 2009, and was finally found 100% P&T in 2010. Its a combined rating, and none of my SC's are rated above 70%
My wife and I married in 2008, so I believe we meet the 10 year "Doesn't have to die from a SC cause". If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
Here's my question: Does DIC require that I have to have a SINGLE service connection rated at 100% P&T? Or does my COMBINED rating of 100% P&T qualify her to be eligible for DIC?
TIA for any answers/help.
