No
Can a spouse of a veteran be buried in Jefferson National Cemetery for free?
If a veteran chooses to be buried in a veterans cemetery, her or his spouse may be buried next to that veteran, with tombstone engraving and perpetual care provided, all at no cost to the family. Note, however, that the burial of a veteran's spouse MUST be next to the veteran. If a veteran chooses not to be buried in a veterans cemetery (the choice my father made, for example), then the spouse (in this case, my mother, who was never in the military) can not seek burial in a veterans cemetery, and certainly not for free.
When can a spouse of a veteran collecting monthly pension also collect an portion of his pension?

Are there veterans benefits available for senior veterans?
My husband is a Army Veteran and I am not eligible for any benefits because I am not a Veteran. We live in Texas. If you are married to the veteran when he passes, you can collect spousal pay. It comes out of the Veterans check each month. But if you can prove that his death was war related, you can put in a claim. For example, exposure to Agent Orange, If the Veteran had been in Vietnam, and had prostate cancer, or Parkinson's disease. If you win your claim, you will receive his military check. When this happens, you qualify for a lot of the benefits as if you are the Veteran. You qualify for housing loans, If you are disabled, and need assistance in everyday living, you can put in a claim for Examination for Housebound Status or Permanent need for Regular Aid. One more thing, they will have to back pay you starting the month after his death.

Yes, the spouse of a veteran may be eligible for certain health care benefits through the VA, including prescriptions and medical care.

The spouse can submit VA From 21-534 to request service connected disability benefit if the veteran had Post Traumatic Stress symptom!

What are the benefits for a spouse of 100 percent disabled veteran?
the spouse has no entitlement to the veterans benefits (the post states that the spouse has no entitelment to the veterans benefits) the spouse is entitled to education benefits, ChampVa medical, the life insurance paid by the VA, the spouse would be beneficiary (if was chosen) if the veteran passes due to the disability caused by service connection then there are pay benefits. So, whoever answered this in the first place did a horrible job. There are benefits to the spouse. Look them up on the VA web site, easy to find. Or call your local VA office. Horrible answer! Mine is not complete but gives you some idea, that there are benefits for the spouse, not necessarily the veterans benefits but your own.
