Spousal & Survivor Benefits
Why Families Matter Too
When a veteran serves, their family serves too. Spouses move from base to base. Children grow up with long absences. Loved ones carry the weight of uncertainty. When a veteran becomes disabled or passes away, the family often struggles—not only with grief and change, but also with financial hardship.
The VA provides important benefits for spouses and survivors, but many families don’t know about them or don’t realize they qualify. Unfortunately, this means some families miss out on life-changing support that could provide stability in difficult times.
Key Benefits for Spouses and Survivors
- Dependency & Indemnity Compensation (DIC) – This is a monthly payment to surviving spouses if the veteran’s death was connected to service. It’s one of the most important benefits, yet many families don’t know how to apply or are denied at first.
- Aid & Attendance – If a veteran’s spouse needs daily help with activities like dressing, bathing, or eating, they may qualify for extra financial assistance.
- Survivor’s Pension – For low-income surviving spouses, this benefit helps provide monthly support.
- CHAMPVA – This program gives survivors health care coverage if they are not eligible for TRICARE.
Why It’s Complicated
These benefits can be confusing to apply for. Each program has its own eligibility rules, forms, and deadlines. On top of that, families are often trying to apply while grieving, making it even more overwhelming.
Why It Matters
No spouse or child should ever feel forgotten. Veterans gave their all for this country, and their families should not be left behind.
