What Happens to VA Benefits If a Veteran Passes Away?

Many veterans worry about what happens to their VA benefits if they pass away before a claim or appeal is finished. In this episode of Law Call, we explain how VA claims can continue after a veteran’s death and how spouses and dependents may still receive benefits. Timing matters, including when the claim was filed and whether the veteran was already receiving disability benefits. In many cases, families may qualify for back pay and ongoing support. If you or your family have questions about VA claims or survivor benefits, Perry & Young, PLLC is here to help protect what you earned through your service.
