Benefits & resources
Family & survivor benefits
Benefits that belong to spouses, children, survivors and caregivers in their own right.
Where to get the real answer
These are government pages. They are the ones that stay current.
Family and caregiver benefits
The VA’s hub for spouses, dependents, survivors and caregivers.
Survivor compensation (DIC)
Monthly payments for eligible surviving spouses, children and parents.
CHAMPVA
Health coverage for certain spouses and children.
Caregiver support program
Training, respite and a stipend for eligible family caregivers.
VETEFITS is not the VA and cannot decide, file or speed up a claim. What we can do is make sure you know these exist and help you find someone accredited to work them with you. Nobody can charge you to prepare and file a first claim, and a county or veterans-organization service officer is free at every stage.
