Summary of Survivor Benefits

Dependency and Indemnity Compensation

Monthly payment for the eligible surviving spouse, dependent children or parent(s) of the Veteran or service member IF the Veteran or service member died in the line of duty or due to a service-related injury or illness.

Accrued Benefits

A one-time payment based on a relationship to a surviving spouse, dependent children, or dependent parents of a deceased Veteran when the record shows additional benefits (such as VA compensation or pension) may have been due to the Veteran prior to passing.

Burials and Burial Allowance

Burial benefits available include a gravesite in any of our National cemeteries with available space, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a government headstone, marker, or medallion, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate at no cost. Some survivors may also be eligible for a plot allowance, transportation allowance, and burial allowances based on the service-connected disability status of the deceased Veteran.

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.
