bassrunnin Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’m coming up on 8 years T&P and I thought that I read somewhere that they changed the requirement from 10 years to 8 years. Am I misreading some of the information because I’m also seeing it’s still 10 years?

0 Marine Corp 69/70 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It’s 10 years for DIC any cause of death and 8 years there is a difference per % that your spouse gets and from 1 to 10 years you have to die from a S/C disability.

0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted March 10, 2022 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 10, 2022 @bassrunninWhich 10 years you are referring to? DIC, rating protections, etc?

0 Berta Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 There is incorrect info here- please correct it somebody GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bassrunnin Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’m talking about if I die from something that is not service related. For example I’m 100% for PTSD but I die in a car accident. How long do I have to be T&P until family would qualify for DIC. Also, if I die either before or after 10 years do my kids still get DEA?

Question
bassrunnin
I’m coming up on 8 years T&P and I thought that I read somewhere that they changed the requirement from 10 years to 8 years. Am I misreading some of the information because I’m also seeing it’s still 10 years? Thanks

It’s 10 years for DIC any cause of death and 8 years there is a difference per % that your spouse gets and from 1 to 10 years you have to die from a S/C disability.

10 years. As long as you are P and T your dependents will receive Chapter 35 education benefits. A wise Idea would be invest ion a High Dollar AD&D policy. It is cheap.
