Not sure how many know about this program for veterans or their surviving spouses. I worked a package for my mom (93 at the time) and she now receives $1,113 per month on top of her social security. Dad was in WWII and I found out about this program by accident. I started working her package in Oct 2011 and she rec'd her 1st payment in Feb 2012--WARP SPEED for the VA!! VERY IMPORTANT--make sure you have ALL the required documents--DD214, marriage license, vets death certificate (for survivors to receive pension,) social security pay, vets discharge papers and all the other documents they ask for. Yes--it does take time--but--the end results sure help either the veto surviving spouse. I hope this will be of benefit to you.
After all--the vet and the spouse earned this pension. There is a payment differential between what the vet receives and what the surving spouse gets. VET & WIFE CAN QUALIFY TOGETHER!!! Take the time and checkout website!!
