MsAnna, I have a vague recollection from reading various VA articles on its website, that children of someone KIA are entitled to benefits. I assume there's an age limit, such as 18, but that would have to be checked out.
1. I found some hits; search on these parameters:
Chapter 13 Dependents and Survivors Benefits - Veterans Affairs
2. You can also contact a local county or state Veterans agency, the VA itself, or a service organization such as American Legion or the VFW.
However, I would think that any surviving children would be adults now and as such might not be available for benefits.
This really is a question to pose to someone knowledgeable of all levels of VA benefits.
Is there a VA hospital with admin offices close to you that you could contact?
