A claim for SRDP cannot be accepted after the death of a veteran. A SRDP claim is not required after death in order to pay compensation for dependents.

Liability cannot be accepted for SRDP after a veterans death because at least one of the eligibility criteria can not be met at the point in time the claim is being determined i.e. 199(1)(a) regarding incapacity payments.  Section 199 operates prospectively only.
