Does your spouse continue to receive your V.A disability payments after death of veteran?

Generally, a spouse may be eligible to continue receiving certain VA benefits after the death of a veteran, depending on the circumstances. If the veteran was rated as permanently and totally disabled for a specific period, the surviving spouse may qualify for Dependents' Educational Assistance or DIC (Dependency and Indemnity Compensation). However, the regular monthly disability payments will cease upon the veteran's death. It's advisable for the surviving spouse to contact the VA for specific guidance on their eligibility and available benefits.
