You can contact Veterans Affairs office with your questions. HOWEVER, dependent children are typically only eligible while they are minors or in school / college up to a certain age. If your father had applied and was receiving benefits at the time of his death, as far as I know, the claim dies with him unless his legal spouse can collect continuing benefits as the widow.

Can you claim unemployment benefit after you marry if your spouse is employed?
Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with.

What are the benefits for a spouse of 100 percent disabled veteran?
the spouse has no entitlement to the veterans benefits (the post states that the spouse has no entitelment to the veterans benefits) the spouse is entitled to education benefits, ChampVa medical, the life insurance paid by the VA, the spouse would be beneficiary (if was chosen) if the veteran passes due to the disability caused by service connection then there are pay benefits.
