  1. Many thanks for this. I checked it out and it says that Social Security income is excluded from countable income. That makes her income close to zero. She has run thru her savings. The county VA rep is telling her is not eligible period. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-38/chapter-I/part-3 Waiver of receipt of income. Potential income that is not excludable under § 3.272 or § 3.279 but is waived by an individual is included as countable income of the individual. However, if an individual withdraws a claim for Social Security benefits, after a finding of entitlement to those benefits, in order to maintain eligibility for unreduced Social Security benefits upon reaching a particular age, VA will not regard this potential income as having been waived and will therefore not count it.
  2. My 98 year-old aunt is a widow of a WWII non-disabled veteran. Is she entitled to survivor benefits? She is in need of the pension. Many thanks.
