If you are not the veteran or next of kin, you must complete the Standard Form 180 (SF 180) by clicking here.

You may use this system if you are a military veteran, next of kin of a deceased, or former member of the military. The next of kin can be any of the following: surviving spouse that has not remarried, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother.
