Must be rated 100% P&T or IU or meet the other requirements to meet the DIC entitlements. If DIC is awarded, SBP is reduced.Also; if you are rated 100% VA this is offset by their insurance.
ColtonMD,
I'm rated 100% VA medically retiring with18 years and going through a divorce. Does this mean that I will have to pay from my VA pay for SBP for my spouse or soon to be former spouse? What does offset by their insurance mean?

Thank you but, I'm still lost. I realize what DIC is and that the current spouse would be entitled to that but, once one select the SBP before retirement and divorce after retirement and sbp coverage is court ordered to the former spouse, will one have to pay out of the 100% VA pay if under 20 years of service?
