What is VA pension?

Permanently and totally disabled veterans with low income may qualify for a non-service connected disability pension if they served at least 90 days on active duty with one day during a period of war.

The amount paid by the VA's Improved Pension Program varies depending on whether a veteran has dependents; and/or has other sources of income, including other retirement or Social Security income. Un-reimbursed medical and health insurance expenses may reduce countable income.
