<p class="MsoNormal">A client has inquired whether there is any scenario where VA disability benefits would continue after the death of the Veteran recipient. There is no dependent child of the decedent, so I’m not certain they would continue, but I wanted
to see if anyone had dealt with this issue specifically. Thank you! <o:p></o:p></p>
