Establish evidence of age, relationship, and other factors of entitlement, including
disability, as if the LSDP applicant is applying for monthly benefits. For information
regarding disability determinations for entitlement to a non-disability payment, see
DI 11025.001.
EXAMPLE: The NH is deceased. His child, age 25, is disabled. She elects not to apply for Child
Disability Benefits (CDB) but applies for the LSDP. To evaluate her eligibility for
the LSDP, determine whether the child was disabled and otherwise eligible for CDB
benefits for the month of the NH's death. However, no disability development is necessary
if, for other reasons, the child could not qualify for the LSDP.
