Compensation for death during wartime while on active duty, to widows, minor orphans, or dependent surviving parents. 4.

These Veterans are entitled to a pension when their yearly income is less than a set amount. 7. Allowances are available for dependents of veterans whose service-connected disabilities are rated at 50% or more. 8. Money payments for education or training in a trade.
