Yes, we all currently get DIC. It is the DIC that we need to continue until she graduates from high school. She will be moving forward with the additional VA education benefits after that. I have just about concluded that since the estate was not left to her at all, rather it was left to me, I do not need to include the value of the estate on this form at this time. That may change once the estate completely settles but that will probably be another year or so. Thank you for the input.

I am working on completing form 21-674c, Request for Approval of School Attendance, with my daughter who is a high school senior. She will turn 18 in February but will not finish high school until June 2020. I have two questions. First, since she is not sure where she will attend college, do I need to complete this form again in the fall showing the school she is attending and using the expected graduation date from that program? Also, I am confused about Part II (13). She receives these benefits because her father is deceased. She did not inherit an estate from him. Do I need to fill in the value for his estate (which is still unsettled) that I inherited as the surviving spouse or are they only looking for assets that she has? Thanks for any help.
