This forum was so helpful to me when I was applying for Aid and Attendance for my father. Well now I have another issue. My fathers health has taken a turn for the worse and sorting through paperwork I have learned that his life insurance has lapsed. He has dementia and I've learned didn't pay a few bills over the last year or so. I hate that I feel the need to ask this question I'm just trying to be prepared - does he have any burial benefits? From what I've read it seems only for a spouse but I'm his only living family member.
Oh no, I am sorry to hear of your father's situation with his life insurance. This page on the VA's website may be able to better help you understand what burial benefits may be available to your father: http://www.benefits.va.gov/compensation/claims-special-burial.asp
