Post in What is the DIC timeline?
broncovet posted an answer to a question,
Good question.
Maybe I can clear it up.
The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more. (my paraphrase).
More here:
Source:
https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/
NOTE: TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY. This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond. If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.Picked By

We Closed the Notice for Request 1
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Question Poised:
We closed the notice for request 1. VA message states Closed the for Request 1 or 2 or some #. What does it mean?
It is a status message that doesn't tell you where your claim is in the process.
