My husband, a vet, died from pacreatic cancer in 2007, he was receiving a check from the VA for diabetes metallis. His check stopped when he died. should i be able to draw this money also? I am however drawing spousal social security since I turned 60 lat yr.
Here's a fact sheet from the VA: http://www.benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/factsheets/survivors/Survivorspension.pdf There's a phone number at the bottom to call if you think you are eligible for benefits.
