VA Streamlines Process for Survivors, Dependents Of Deceased Veterans
May 5, 2025—The Department of Veterans Affairs announced an initiative to streamline the process for how eligible survivors and dependents of deceased Veterans and servicemembers apply for and receive VA benefits and services.
• Effective immediately, the VA’s Office of Survivors Assistance has moved from the Veterans Benefits Administration to the Office of the VA Secretary, reversing a Biden-era decision that buried OSA under layers of bureaucracy.
• The VA has created a “white-glove” survivor outreach team to guide and assist eligible survivors throughout their Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) claims process.
• Starting immediately, VA will begin work to identify areas where automation can be used to make the DIC claims process easier to navigate for survivors.
Contact your local federal or state VA office for more information.
