Eligible dependents may include spouses, children, step-children, parents, and more. There are two types of Washington Claim for Pension By Dependents: Pension and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation. Pension is available for eligible veterans and their dependents who meet the financial requirements, and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation is available for survivors of service members who died in the line of duty or due to service-related disabilities.
