Frequently Asked Questions About DIC Benefits
How is DIC different from a survivor’s pension?
DIC is for survivors of Veterans who died from service-connected causes. A survivor’s pension applies to low-income families of wartime Veterans whose death was not service-related.
Do I lose DIC if I remarry?
If you remarry after age 57, you generally continue to receive DIC. Remarriage before that age may affect eligibility.
Can I receive DIC and Social Security at the same time?
Surviving spouses may be eligible to receive both Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and Social Security Survivor Benefits at the same time. DIC is tax-free and does not typically affect the amount of Social Security benefits received.
How long does it take to receive DIC after approval?
Processing time varies by claim complexity, but most payments begin within two months after approval.
Can DIC be paid retroactively?
Yes. Retroactive benefits may be awarded to the date the claim was filed or the Veteran’s date of death, whichever is later, if filed within one year.
