VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Application

A VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Application is a form used by surviving spouses or dependent children of deceased veterans. Key features include:

1. Deceased veteran’s service information

2. Applicant’s relationship to the veteran

3. Cause of veteran’s death

4. Applicant’s marital and dependency status

5. Financial information (if applicable)

This application is used to claim benefits for eligible survivors of veterans who died in service or from service-connected disabilities. It helps the VA determine eligibility for monthly compensation and other benefits. The form requires detailed information about the veteran’s service, the circumstances of their death, and the applicant’s relationship and current situation to ensure appropriate benefits are provided to eligible survivors.
