Program Description:
Gratuitous Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (ARH) is a program that provides posthumous life insurance coverage.
General Program Requirements:
Gratuitous Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (S-DVI) (ARH) is granted posthumously to veterans who:
- Met the basic eligibility requirements for S-DVI.
- Did not apply for S-DVI because of a continued mental incompetence due to a service-connected disability.

Veterans Affairs (VA) must receive an application for payment of Gratuitous S-DVI (ARH) within two years from the date of the veteran??s death.
