Wartime Vets may be Eligible for VA Pension
An article in a VFW news release states that if you are a wartime veteran who is no longer able to work and have a limited income, you may be eligible for a Veterans Disability Pension. “Many veterans of wartime service are completely unaware of the fact if they are age 65 or older and on a limited income they may qualify for a VA pension even if they are not disabled.” To learn more about eligibility call 800-827-1000 or visit the VONAPP Web site.

July 31st, 2007 at 4:45 pmI was in the Army from 1966-8 but stayed state-side. I am now 60 yrs old and have worked in the oil field for 36 yrs. I get a small pension of $475/mo from a previous employer and have about $60k in my ira. I am worried because my health is deteriorating fast and don’t know if I can do another 5 yrs in the oil field. Would I be eligible for any kind of VA assistance even though I don’t have any ailments due to my service activity? My wife will be 60 in Sept. of this year and doesn’t work.
