In general, no - the contract between the government and the veteran, which determines which benefits apply, is terminated upon the veteran's death (assuming benefits extended until that time). Though there may have been allowances for dependents, again, the contract is with the veteran and not the dependents.

The exception is any SGLI (Serviceman's Group Life Insurance Policy) benefits, which are similar to any term life insurance settlement. It depends solely on those designated by the veteran for benefit payment upon the veteran's death.
