Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has published a series of Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)s setting out new proposed regulations governing VA compensation, pension, burial and related benefits that would be located in a new part of the Code of Federal Regulations. This NPRM adds proposed regulations concerning dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) for a veteran's surviving spouse, children, and parents and general rules relating to proof of death and service-connected cause of death to that proposed new part. The intended effect of the proposed revisions is to assist claimants and VA personnel in locating and understanding these provisions.
