If I Draw SS On A Deceased Former Husband Can I Also Get VA Benefits From A Second Deceased Husband?

If I draw SS from formers deceased husband can I also get VA benefits DIC from second husband VA whom is deceased

Hi,

I don't know about VA benefits because my expertise is limited to Social Security benefits. All I can tell you for sure is that if you do receive VA benefits, it would not have any effect on your Social Security survivor benefits.

Best, Jerry
