WHICH WILL NOT BE USED.
You must:
• Submit your claim in accordance with the
"FDC Criteria" (see page 1)
You must:
• If you know of evidence not in your possession and want
VA to try to get it for you, give VA enough information
about the evidence so that we can request it from the
person or agency that has it
If the holder of the evidence declines to give it to VA, asks for a
fee to provide it, or otherwise cannot get the evidence, VA will
notify you and provide you with an opportunity to submit the
information or evidence. It is your responsibility to make sure
we receive all requested records that are not in the
possession of a Federal department or agency.
The Fully Developed Claim (FDC) Program is the fastest way to get your claim processed, and there is no risk to participate!
Participation in the FDC Program is optional and will not affect the quality of care you receive or the benefits to which you are entitled. If
you file a claim in the FDC Program and it is determined that other records exist and VA needs the records to decide your claim, then
VA will simply remove the claim from the FDC Program (Optional Expedited Process) and process it in the Standard Claim Process.
See below for more information. If you wish to file your claim in the FDC Program, see FDC Program (Optional Expedited Process). If
you wish to file your claim under the process in which VA traditionally processes claims, see Standard Claim Process.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
You must submit all relevant evidence in your possession and provide VA information sufficient to enable it to obtain all relevant
evidence not in your possession. If your claim involves a disability the veteran had before entering service and that was made worse by
service, please provide any information or evidence in your possession regarding the health condition that existed before the veteran's
entry into service.

FDC Program (Optional Expedited Process)
Standard Claim Process
WHEN YOU SHOULD SEND WHAT WE NEED
You must:

Standard Claim Process
We strongly encourage you to:
• Send any information or evidence as soon as you can
You have up to one year from the date we receive the claim to

one year period to submit additional information or evidence
necessary to support the claim.
WHERE TO SEND INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE

Generally, those requirements are:
• 90 days of consecutive service, at least one day of which was during a period of war; OR
• 90 days of combined service during at least one period of war;
(Note : If the veteran's service began after September 7, 1980, additional length-of-service requirements may apply, typically
requiring two years of continuous service or completion of active-duty obligations.)

vocational rehabilitation, or compensated work therapy.
DIC and it was previously denied by VA.

• The veteran had a service-connected disability(ies) that was either the principal or contributory cause of
the veteran's death; OR
• The veteran died from non service-connected injury or disease AND was receiving, or entitled to receive VA compensation

Reopened DIC
Survivors Pension
Reopened DIC:
In order to reopen a claim previously denied by VA, we need new and material evidence. New and material evidence must raise
a reasonable possibility of substantiating your claim. The evidence cannot simply be repetitive or cumulative of the evidence we
had when we previously decided your claim. VA will make reasonable efforts to help you obtain currently existing evidence.
However, we cannot provide a medical examination or obtain a medical opinion until your claim is successfully reopened.
• To qualify as new, the evidence must currently exist and be submitted to VA for the first time
• In order to be considered material, the additional existing evidence must pertain to the reason
your claim was previously denied
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) (Continued)
To support your claim for DIC based upon the service person's active duty for training, the evidence must show:
• The service person was disabled during active duty for training due to a disease or injury incurred in the line of duty, and
the disease or injury caused or contributed to the service person's death.
If VA granted service connection for a disease or injury during the service person's lifetime, evidence that the service-connected
disease or injury caused or contributed to the service person's death may satisfy this requirement.
To support a claim for DIC based on a disability that was not service-connected or for which the service person
did not file a claim during his or her lifetime, the evidence must show:
• The service person was disabled during active duty for training due to a disease or injury incurred in the line of duty; AND
• A physical or mental disability that was either the principle or contributory cause of death. This may be shown by medical
evidence or by lay evidence of persistent and recurrent symptoms of disability that were visible or observable; AND
• A relationship between the principal or contributory cause of death and the disability due to injury or disease, incurred in
the line of duty. This may be shown by medical records or medical opinions or, in certain cases, by lay evidence.
To support your claim for DIC based upon the service person's inactive duty training, the evidence must show:
• The service person died during inactive duty training due to an injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, or acute
myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident during such training; OR
• The service person was disabled during inactive duty training due to an injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty,
or acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident that occurred during such training; and that
injury, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident caused or contributed to the service person's
death
If VA granted service connection for an injury, acute myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident during the service person's
lifetime, evidence that the service-connected condition caused or contributed to the service person's death may satisfy this
requirement.
To support a claim for DIC based on a disability that was not service-connected or for which the service person did not
file a claim during his or her lifetime, the evidence must show:
• The service person was disabled during inactive duty training due to an injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, or
acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident that occurred during such training; AND
• The injury, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident caused or contributed to the service
person's death
DIC under 38 U.S.C. 1151:
In order to support your claim for DIC under 38 U.S.C. 1151, the evidence must show:
• The deceased veteran died as a result of undergoing VA hospitalization, medical or surgical treatment,
examination, or training; AND
• The death was:
• the direct result of VA fault such as carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, or error in judgment; OR
• the direct result of an event that was not a reasonably expected result or complication of the VA care or treatment; OR
• the direct result of participation in a VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment or compensated work therapy
program

EVIDENCE TABLES (Continued)
HOW VA DETERMINES THE EFFECTIVE DATE
If we grant a claim for Survivors benefits, the beginning date of your entitlement will generally be the date we received your claim.
However, if VA receives your claim within one year after the date of the veteran's death, entitlement will be from the first day of the
month in which the veteran died.
The veteran's death certificate is evidence relevant to determining the effective date of any benefits we award.
Special monthly pension may be available for a veteran's surviving spouse and/or parents who are unable to perform certain activities
of daily living, are a patient in a nursing home, or are substantially confined to their immediate premises. Special monthly pension may
be effective from the date medical evidence first shows entitlement.
Child Incapable of Self-Support:
To support a claim for benefits based on a veteran's child being incapable of self-support, the evidence must show that
the child, before his or her 18th birthday, became permanently incapable of self-support due to a mental or physical disability.
