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.

Can the spouse of a 100 percent disabled veteran who gets compensation work?
As far as I know, there is a strict limit as to how much money you can earn and still receive 100 percent disability. I have heard that even working a part time job could put you over the limit. This goes for anyone rated 100 percent or anyone at 60 percent or higher who has been classified as "unemployable."

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.
Does a girlfriend qualify for anything when a veteran?
Your question is incomplete. That being said, we'll try to anticipate where you were going with it, and give an answer based on that anticipation. Assuming you're referring to the girlfriend of a veteran, they're not entitled to anything. No educational benefits, no SGLI benefits, nothing. A spouse or child would be; a boyfriend or girlfriend is not. If the girlfriend is the veteran, she is entitled to benefits - her boyfriend (or girlfriend, if applicable) would not be.
Can a wife at age 62 draw half of spouse's SS and continue to work and earn unlimited?
A spouse receives one-half of the retired worker's full benefit unless the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age. In that case, the amount of the spouse's benefit is reduced by a percentage based on the number of months before he/she reaches full retirement age.For example, based on the full retirement age of 66, if a spouse begins collecting benefits:At 65, the benefit amount would be about 46 percent of the retired worker's full benefit;At age 64, it would be about 42 percent;At age 63, 37.5 percent; andAt age 62, 35 percent.However, if a spouse is taking care of a child who is either under age 16 or disabled and receiving Social Security benefits, a spouse gets full (one-half) benefits, regardless of age.If you are eligible for both your own retirement benefit and for benefits as a spouse, we always pay your own benefit first. If your benefit as a spouse is higher than your retirement benefit, you'll receive a combination of benefits equaling the higher spouse's benefit.Click on the below Related Link

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?
Not until the veteran dies. The pension is the property of the veteran, NOT their spouse. While the veteran is alive, the spouse would not have any monetary claim on the veterans pension unless they divorced. Only then would she be able to make a claim on a percentage of his pension payment.
