Proper method to change beneficiaries of veterans insurance
World War II veterans cannot change beneficiaries by their will. Changes require written notice to the Veterans Administration signed by the insured veteran. An original designation may be made by including it in a will, but formal changes must be filed with the VA at the nearest office. Widows of WWI veterans who remarry lose eligibility for compensation or pension. Death benefits vary by dependents and relation. amounts range from $21.60 to $75 monthly.
