I wonder if my VA benefits will take care of my funeral costs when I commit suicide, I want my kids taken care of
I hope you don’t kill your self, but I searched this really quickly from a legal advice site, not sure how accurate.
When a Veteran commits suicide, spouses and/or children are only entitled to DIC benefits if the Veteran had received a service connection for a mental health condition such as depression or PTSD. If the Veteran was not receiving VA disability benefits for mental health reasons at the time of their death, the surviving family members cannot receive DIC benefits.
