I need to know more about your educational support for survivors.
Of course. You can learn about the Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance DEA program.
Yes, please. Do you offer financial support for the wife of a Veteran?
Yes, you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the DEA program also called Chapter 35. You can also find out if you're eligible for it.
================
I'd like to do that then. How can I find out if I'm eligible for that DEA program?
You may be able to get these benefits if both you and the Veteran or service member meet certain eligibility requirements.
Do you meet the requirements?
Yes. I mean, I think I do. I haven't really read them all.
Is the Veteran or service member permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected disability?
Yes, he is.
================
One quick question, I can't get both DEA and DIC at the same time, can I?
Correct. If you're over 18 years old and using DEA, you can't get the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, DIC, from us.
