Dependency & Indemnity Compensation (DIC) since January 1, 1993 has been a flat basic rate. To that rate you add extra amounts depending on the number of dependents and other entitlements. In the example below, the monthly rate for the surviving spouse increases from the basic rate of $1,154 to a new monthly rate of $1,972.
