Two Kinds of Pensions Will Be Paid to Soldiers
The government pays two kinds of pensions to survivors of servicemen and veterans. Group One gives monthly death pensions for service death or disability connected to military service with tiers for widow and children, dependent mother, and caps at $100. Group Two provides pensions for death after discharge to those with service-connected disability, with liberal VA interpretation potentially granting benefits even when death is from nonservice causes. Examples show non-service-connected death pensions go to widows with children or eligible orphans under income limits.
