death pension

We received a letter yesterday from the VA granting death pension benefits.

My wife was collecting death pension already."

The Department of Veteran Affairs also offers a death pension for surviving spouses and other dependents of the deceased service-member.

To be eligible for the death pension, the surviving spouse cannot be remarried, and the children must be under 18 years of age unless they are in college, in which case they must be under 23 years of age.
