Question
MPsgt
Hello Everyone,
My question is this. Can a surviving spouse of a non-service connected, decease Veteran receive DIC? If the Veteran could have been service connected for AO Exposure in Korea during the recognized years. The Veteran die of an unexpected heart attack. He had Hypertension and Diabetes too but, wasn't aware he could qualify before death. If the answer is yes. How would I prove he served in a particular unit eligible for SC. Be it assigned or attached to these units recognized by VA & DOD. The DD 214 states a unit but, this unit was scattered all over Korea? We don't know where he served in Korea. The spouse has already filed but, was denied in about two months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
