Of course. You can learn about the Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance DEA program.
What if I'm the wife of a Veteran who died in the line of service?
In that case you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the DEA program also called Chapter 35.
Can you tell me if I qualify for the DEA program?
Yes. You may be able to get these benefits if both you and the Veteran or service member meet certain eligibility requirements.
What are those requirements, if I may ask?
Is the Veteran permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected disability?
No, he died.
Has the Veteran died while on active duty or as a result of a service-connected disability?
Yes. He died protecting his country.
What do I need to know as wife of the deceased Veteran?
