What benefits are available to dependents of disabled veterans?

Veterans disability law in Alaska provides several benefits to dependents of disabled veterans. The VA will provide a monthly payment to both unmarried children and spouses of disabled veterans. The amount of money available is determined by the veteran’s disability rating, which is based on their medical condition and how severely it impacts their quality of life. If approved, the children of a disabled veteran can receive benefits until they turn 18, or 23 if enrolled in a college or vocational training. The surviving spouse of a veteran with a service-connected disability may also be eligible for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, which is a tax-free financial benefit. In addition, certain educational assistance may be available if the veteran became permanently disabled while on active duty, or died as a result of their service-related disability. Medical benefits are also available to dependents of disabled veterans in Alaska. The VA may provide medical coverage to spouses and unmarried children of veterans who have a service-connected disability or veterans who passed away as a result of their service-related disability. These benefits include access to the VA healthcare system and prescription drug coverage. Finally, disabled veterans may also be eligible for special housing assistance through the VA, including grants to help build or modify a home to accommodate the veteran’s disability. This can include constructing wheelchair ramps or widening doorways, or even addressing other issues that may pose an obstacle to the veteran’s mobility. Dependents of disabled veterans may also be able to use these grants to support themselves by making modifications to their home.
