Widows of World War II, Korea and Vietnam who later remarried are now elderly and becomming re-widowed in ever increasing numbers. (Yes, some Vietnam widows are elderly.)

I was pelased to see the letter from Secretary Togo West of Veterans Affairs, explaining that ALL war widows and ceretain veterans' widows are now entitled to receive monthly Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits as long as they are again single, following a remarriage.
All war, active-duty, or VA service-connected disability widows should call the VA's toll-free number at (800)827-1000 to inquire about DIC eligibility.
