Some widows and children of WW II vets are now receiving social security benefits based soley on the wartime service of the deceased. Due to various circumstances, the veteran had no other claim to social security and so benefits paid under this act are gratuitous and parallel regular V.A. pensions. This particular benefits is payable only to survivors of veterans who served between Sept. 16, 1940 and July 24, 1947, inclusive. They must have been discharged from service prior to July 27, 1951 and death must have occurred prior to July 27, 1954. Since the law prohibits dual payments to any one person for entitlement, recipients may choose only the greater benefit.
