Summary:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) administers several pension benefit programs for veterans as well as their surviving spouses and dependent children. The most current pension programs available (for those meeting the eligibility criteria on or after January 1, 1979) are the Improved Disability Pension for certain low-income veterans and the Improved Death Pension for certain low-income surviving spouses or children of veterans. There is also a special pension for Medal of Honor recipients. [...] This report will provide information on the most current pension programs--those programs for which a veteran, a surviving spouse, or a dependent child becomes eligible on or after January 1, 1979--and on the special pension program for Medal of Honor recipients. The current pension program for veterans is the Improved Disability Pension, which is for certain low-income veterans. The current pension program for certain low-income surviving spouses and dependent children of veterans is the Improved Death Pension. Both pension programs were created by P.L. 95-588, the Veterans and Survivors Pension Improvement Act of 1978.
