Veterans 65 years of age or older are no longer automatically considered totally and permanently disabled.
Pension is based upon income.
Pension is not payable to those who have estates that can provide adequate maintenance. Military service must have been for at least 90 days during a period of war and service cannot be dishonorable in nature. The amount reimbursed cannot exceed the maximum pension rate for the vets category. Un-reimbursed medical expenses should be accurately kept and reported yearly. This would include medical insurance, doctor and hospital bills, prescriptions, dental, etc.
