VA Pension Application

A VA Pension Application is a form used by eligible veterans or their surviving spouses to apply for needs-based pension benefits. Key features include:

1. Veteran’s personal and service information

2. Financial data (income, assets, expenses)

3. Disability status (if applicable)

4. Marital status and dependent information

5. Net worth details

This application is used for:

– Veterans Pension for wartime veterans aged 65 or older, or permanently disabled

– Survivors Pension for low-income surviving spouses of wartime veterans

The form requires detailed financial information to determine eligibility based on income and net worth limits. It may also include:

– Medical expense reports

– Proof of disability (if under 65)

– Marriage and death certificates (for surviving spouses)

Accurate completion is crucial as pension benefits are means-tested and intended for veterans and survivors with limited income and assets.
