| The Department of Veterans Affairs has expanded its online benefits applications to include Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance. The application can be accessed at VA's main Web page at www.va.gov or through the insurance Web pages at www.insurance.va.gov. To initiate the process through a secure Web site protecting users' privacy, eligible veterans should click on "Apply for S-DVI Insurance Online Using Our Autoform Application." Once transmitted, applications are immediately processed, however, veterans who are uncomfortable submitting their application online may print it from the Web site and mail or fax it. S-DVI is a VA program of life insurance that provides $10,000 of coverage to veterans who have received a service-connected disability rating for a new condition from VA within the past two years; were separated from service on or after April 25, 1951, under other than dishonorable conditions; and are in good health except for their service-connected conditions. |
