re: Does the surviving spouse get their spouse's VA disability benefits when they die?

Unemployability is separate from 100% service connection. You get extra tax free money for unemployability. I see people apply for unemployability all the time when they retire. I say “sir, you are 75 years old and just retired. That is not unemployable just because you stopped working.” And it’s definitely a scam for most. I see these cases all the time.
