Veteran's pension

It was established by the United States Congress and given to veterans who meet the eligibility requirements.

Money was shifted from the national treasury to individuals who were perceived as having the right to preferential treatment.

The remaining total is deducted from the maximum pension limit[4] (taking into account the number of dependents, spouse, etc.).

[5] The veteran's pension is a tax-free benefit not subject to federal income tax.

In addition to monthly payments, certain veterans may be eligible for additional benefits such as automobile grants, special adaptive housing, traumatic service members group life insurance, educational benefits and health care.
