Yes, you can learn about the Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance DEA program.
Are you the child or spouse of a Veteran or service member who has died, is captured or missing, or has disabilities?
Yes, I'm the wife.
In that case you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the DEA program also called Chapter 35.
What if my husband had died on active duty? He barely made it.
Then your benefits would end 20 years from the date of death. You would be able to get DIC payments from us and to use DEA benefits.

Can you tell me if I qualify for education benefits through DEA?
Yes, I think so. I should fulfill all the requirements.
In that case you may be able to get these benefits if both you and the Veteran or service member meet certain eligibility requirements.
Do you meet one of the requirements?
Yes, like I mentioned before.
Is the Veteran permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected disability?
Yes, he is.
Could his son also get benefits?
