Veterans Questions And Answers: Civil War Pensions And VA Loans
Q I see the VA pays pension under a heading Civil War Pensions. I thought all the Civil War veterans were dead Answer Pensions for Civil War dependents are paid to widows and helpless children of Civil War veterans. There are about 3 000 on the rolls. Q If a wife is a veteran can she obtain a VA loan for a home even if her husband is not a veteran Answer Veterans benefits draw no line between the sexes thus a woman veteran is eligible for a home loan guaranty. However many women veterans might be unable to obtain loans because of low annual income or doubts concerning long term employment. Your nearest VA office could advise you on this matter. Q Can I allow my annual GI insured dividend to remain on deposit to meet future premiums Answer Yes you may Notify the VA office where you pay your premiums of your intention to allow your dividend to remain on deposit.
