Comp for my wife at the time of my passing? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/comp-for-my-wife-at-the-time-of-my-passing <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been on VA Disability Comp since 1998. I receive a combined total of 100% benefits. My question, as I receive 80% disability and 20% unemployability, in the event of my death prior to my spouse, will she be able to draw the benefit of a widows income?

I have no idea. I&#39;m commenting because I am in a similar situation, and I&#39;d like to bump this in the feeds so the right answer will come forward. SPC Elijah J.

After ten years of marriage, WHILE you are drawing 100%, at your death she will need to apply for DIC. This is just under 50% of your benefit.

Their answer was: yes, spouse could receive benefits. She must re-apply. Check with VA for proper forms. Near me, the American Legion helps veterans with benefit applications.
