For a spouse to receive DIC (Dependency-indemnity-Compensation) VA Benefits, a service-connected disability or one presumptive of military service must be listed on the death certificate as a primary cause of death or a contributing cause of death.
Did you know if you sustain an injury while working at your post-service job and subsequently file for worker’s compensation claim against an employer for that injury, you “could” be precluded from filing for the same injury with the VA, especially if there is no medical evidence the condition/injury is service connected?
Many deserving Veterans or their families believe they may qualify for some earned Veteran Benefits or Medical help but don’t know where or how to start the process.
