Government Pension and A & A

[agingsw]

I'm working with a client whose late husband was a veteran.  After the military he worked for NASA and retired from there before he died.  She is receiving a Government Annuity as his pension.  I've been told that she will not be eligible for A & A because she's already receiving a pension from the government.  Is this true?

Thank you!

No it is not true.
