Guest Berta Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 When the spouse of a veteran (lets say- the vet is 100% TDIU from the Gulf War and she also receives SSA) and lets say the husband of this vet is rated as NSC but with total and permanent disability- as I understand it this spouse of a vet - let's say the husband in this case-would be eligible for A & A or Housebound..... both, in essense, are SMC awards---- then the spousal AA and or HB vet is NOT a service connected vet, they are simply a vet's dependent receiving VA comp---- did I get that right? Is the spousal A& A or HB amount simply added to the SC vets dependency award? Or -if not incompetent-does the NSC A & A spouse get the VA comp check? Thank you all!

Rich T Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 It is all in 1 check, but there is no such thing as spousal HB. The vet must be deceased for surviving spouse to get HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
