Sure. Thank you for the question.
What happens after 30 days is that the benefit paid to the survivor is not the death benefit. It is either the full amount or the residual amount of the disability award that would have been paid to the veteran. The reason it was structured that way is because beyond a point of 30 days, the veteran could well have applied for the disability award and may have received a portion. What will happen is that either the full amount or a residual amount of the disability award will be paid to the survivor.
For example, if perhaps there was an injury, and 20% or 30% was paid to the veteran, and then some time later the veteran died from that actual condition, the residual amount would be paid to the survivors.
