Little known info about the Veterans Improved Pension Benefits
I’m posting this hoping that some folks will find some benefit to it, and party because I have a tendency to lose brochures, etc., and I wanted to make sure I could get my hands on this info if I needed it again.
Most folks are not aware that there are additional benefits for Veterans or their Widow(ers). There is something called an “improved pension benefit”. What does it take to qualify?
- only 90 days of continuous, active duty military service, one of which was during wartime.
- any discharge other than a dishonorable discharge
- disabled OR at least age 65
For seniors living in assisted living or other senior facilities who are at least 65, there is up to $1950 per month available TAX FREE.
(I’m just hitting the highlights from the brochure.)

If you’d like to honor someone who has served in the armed forces, visit this site! You can post a little about them, when and where they served. Sections of the memorial wall are divided by war, and there’s a section for peacetime service as well. For security reasons, don’t post anything about active duty personnel.
Humbled at Arlington
I was in the DC metro area over the weekend and had the opportunity to visit Arlington National Cemetery (it’s actually located in Ft. Meyer, Virginia, not the city of Arlington). I’ve been there before, but once again I was humbled to see the over 200 acres of graves and monuments. More than 300,000 people are buried there.
