Pension for Veterans
A veteran must have been on active service for at least ninety days (including the period of war) in order to be eligible for a pension. Honorable discharge – or any other qualifying discharge – is required. It is not necessary for service to be in battle. To be eligible for a pension, a veteran under the age of 65 must be disabled, and medical evidence must be shown. There is no disability criterion for persons above the age of 65.
Pension for Survivors
A Survivor’s Pension is available to the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran. These spouses do not need to be disabled or be of a certain age, but they must meet other standards. This includes the requirement that the marriage last at least a year or that a kid be born during the marriage. The spouse should have resided with the veteran during their marriage and be married at the time of the veteran’s death. In addition, the spouse should not have remarried after the death.
