Expert Answer
Your father may have been receiving military retirement pay or other service-connected or non-service connected disability benefits. When a Veteran passes away, his surviving spouse and dependent children may be eligible to receive some of his benefits. Dependent children must be 18 years old or younger (unless they are full-time college students which raised the age to 22). If a dependent child. who was disabled and receiving benefits prior to reaching age 18, continues to be disabled, the benefits will continue beyond age 18.
