Question:

I am TDIU P&T for 11 years now. If I die, what does my spouse (wife) have to do to claim her compensation?

Jim's Reply:

She will notify VA of your passing...often enough the funeral director will do that for her. Details are here https://www.vawatchdog.org/dic---survivor-benefits.html  

PS From StatesideLegal:

You can also find out who qualifies and how to apply at StatesideLegal's DIC webpage.
