DIC // Declined SBP at Retirement (Medical)
Less than a Dozen posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research
My wife and I declined SBP when I was medically retired. I am 100% P&T. I declined SBP because of the Widow’s Tax when I retired and now that is no longer an issue. I can’t get a straight answer as to whether my wife will receive DIC if I die before her. The issue is that I am drawing retired pay in addition to my VA Disability Pension as opposed to a Veteran who is just drawing the VA Disability Pension. When I was medically retired I was told I was better off declining SBP. I have been told that she will get DIC and that she will not (because we declined SBP) by different people who should know, but can’t provide me documentation. If any of you know the correct answer with documentation I’d greatly appreciate it. -
Greetings, fellow vets! I am a 70% SC veteran married to a 90% SC veteran. Can I get the spousal benefit that would give me $100 more a month? What is disqualifying? For example, how much money in support, do I live with him. Can't find much information about this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
