Channel: V3T(VET)-TALK
Date: 2023-06-11

The VA Survivors Pension is a benefit offered to qualified surviving spouses and unmarried dependent children of wartime Veterans who meet specific income and net worth limits set by Congress. To be eligible for this benefit, the Veteran must have met specific service requirements, and the surviving spouse or child must meet income and net worth limits set by Congress.

If you are a surviving spouse, you may be eligible for this benefit if you haven't remarried after the Veteran's death, and if the deceased Veteran didn't receive a dishonorable discharge. Additionally, the Veteran must have met at least one of the service requirements outlined by Congress.

If you are the child of a deceased wartime Veteran, you may be eligible for this benefit if you are unmarried and meet specific requirements based on your age or disability.

To apply for the VA Survivors Pension, you can do so in several ways. You can work with a trained professional called an accredited representative to get help applying for VA survivor's pension benefits. You can also apply online using the QuickSubmit tool through AccessVA to upload your form online. Alternatively, you can fill out an Application for DIC, Death Pension, and/or Accrued Benefits (VA Form 21P-534EZ) and mail your completed application to the Pension Intake Center.

It's important to note that VA Survivor's Pension claims are processed in the order they are received unless a claim requires priority processing. The length of time it takes for the VA to make a decision varies based on several factors.

In conclusion, if you are a surviving spouse or unmarried dependent child of a wartime Veteran who meets certain service requirements, you may be eligible for the VA Survivors Pension. To apply for this benefit, you can work with an accredited representative, apply online, or fill out an application and mail it to the Pension Intake Center.
