Frequently-asked questions
1.) Does the term veteran apply only to those who fought as soldiers and
guerrillas in the World War II?
No. The term veteran, for all intents and purposes, also include post-WWII
veterans, or those who have rendered the required length of military service in the
land, sea and air of the country under the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)
prior to retirement or honorable separation from the service.
3.) Are AFP retirees entitled to the Veterans Hospitalization Program (VHP)
in public hospitals located in provinces?
Yes, AFP retirees and also their dependents (either spouse, minor children or
parent/s) are entitled to the Veterans Hospitalization Program (VHP) in public
hospitals located in provinces. They only need to present their AFP IDs as retirees
or dependents during confinement in order to avail of the daily hospitalization
subsidy not to exceed P1,200 per day per patient, for a maximum of 45 days. The
partner hospital that provided treatment to the patient should send the hospital
bills to the VMMC, net of other discounts, for payment. They may also avail of the
subsidized medical services under the VHP. However, due to the limited budget for
the implementation of the VHP, World War II veterans and spouses are the topmost
priority for the VHP.
4.) If a retired enlisted personnel or officer of the AFP dies before reaching 65,
is the spouse entitled to Old Age Pension or any other benefit?
Yes, the spouse of a retired enlisted personnel or officer of the AFP who dies before
reaching 65 is entitled to Old Age Pension for Surviving Spouse amounting to
Php5,000 per month effective on the veterans date of death. The spouse may also
get Burial Assistance benefit of Php10,000.00 provided that she files her claim
within two years from the date of the veterans death.
Page 27
Frequently-asked questions
5.) Should the burial assistance benefit be payable to the veterans spouse
only?
No, the Burial Assistance benefit may be paid to whoever defrayed the funeral
expense of the deceased veteran , thus, PVAO requires proof of payment for funeral
services from a claimant for such benefit. Payment of burial assistance, however, is
facilitated faster when the claimant is the spouse. This is because in case there is
overpayment in the pension of a deceased veteran, PVAO may easily recover such
overpayment by offsetting the same from the spouses pension.
8.) Suppose a widower retiree remarries, will the second wife be entitled to
PVAO benefits?
Yes. Unlike in the AFP where spouses married to soldiers after retirement are not
entitled to pension and other benefits, PVAO may grant benefits to subsequent
spouses provided they establish the legal basis for the termination of the veterans
first marriage, which may either be due to death of the first spouse, or annulment.
At any rate, the subsequent spouse gets entitled to hospitalization and healthcare
benefits and privileges. Upon the veterans death, the spouse assumes the right to
claim for Old age Pension which she may enjoy within his/her lifetime, provided he/
she wont remarry.
