8 years or 10 years for T&P

[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.

@bassrunninWhich 10 years you are referring to? DIC, rating protections, etc?

There is incorrect info here- please correct it somebody

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? (College assistance)   Thanks
