[QUOTE="dVet, post: 179, member: 2"] The Survivors' Pension and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) are benefits for families of deceased veterans, each with its requirements. The Survivors' Pension helps families of wartime veterans based on financial needs, not needing the veteran's death to be related to their service. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.va.gov/pension/survivors-pension/[/URL] On the other hand, DIC helps families of veterans who passed away from conditions connected to their service, without any income limits. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/[/URL] Essentially, the Survivors' Pension is all about wartime service and financial need, while DIC is about service-related deaths, no matter the family's income. There is also a T&P component to DIC as well. [/QUOTE]
