Veterans Pensions
For Children
Children of deceased servicemen may be eligible for pensions even though their mothers are not. Ibis situation occurs under either of two circumstances:
First, the unremarried widow may be ineligible because her income exceeds limits set by law.
Second, when a widow receiving a pension for herself and her children remarries, she loses her personal eligibility for a pension based bn her veteran husband’s death.
Minor children, however, may continue to receive pension payments in either case, even though they live with their mother. Their personal eligibility is limited only by their personal incomes.
If a child’s income is greater than $1,800 per year, no pension will be paid, but the child’s earnings from work are not counted as income.
A widow’s personal ineligibility should not prevent her from applying. Unless an application is made, the Veterans Administration has no way of. knowing about children who might be eligible.
Pensions may be paid to certain survivors of veterans of all wars, including the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam Era, who die of causes not related to theirservice. Eligibility and the amount of pension are determined by the survivor’s income.
