WASHINGTON — As a follow up to National Financial Awareness
Day, August 14, the Department of Veterans Affairs is launching an awareness
campaign to inform elderly wartime Veterans and their families of their
lesser-known va logo300pension, funeral, burial, and survivor benefits.
“VA’s pension benefit helps Veterans, and their families
cope with financial challenges by providing supplemental income,” said Acting
Under Secretary for Benefits Thomas Murphy. “Currently, only 189,800 wartime
Veterans and 139,800 surviving spouses are using their needs-based pension
benefits that are meant to ease the burden on them, their families and
caregivers. We need to ensure all of our wartime Veterans and their survivors
are aware of their benefits.”
