There are several different rules that the VA has established regarding eligibility for DIC or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Benefits.
Watch as veteran’s attorney Lori Underwood explains the five-year rule, ten-year rule, and one-year rule as well as when a veteran’s death is the result of a service-connected condition.
Even though there is no time limit to file for DIC benefits, you must file Form 21535 as soon as possible to preserve the earliest effective date. If you get the application in within one year then the claim will relate back to the veteran's death. If you do it at any point in time after one year, then the date of your claim will become the claim date.
