DIC is Dependents Indemnity Compensation. When a Service Connected Vet dies, his spouse "may" be eligible for compensation, but the Veterans SC compensation will stop.
Here are the Eligibility rules, according to VA website:
https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/#am-i-eligible-for-va-dic-as-a-
In English, to be eligible for DIC your spouse needed to die of a SC condition OR from ANY condition if he is P and T for 10 years.
But, read the rules to make sure it applies to you.
The compensation rates vary according to dependents and other factors, but it should be at least $1357 per month if awarded.
