user: Well hello. My name is Bill Smith and I was wondering if I qualify for veterans pension.[NEWLINE]agent: Of course. The Veterans Pension program provides monthly payments to wartime Veterans who meet certain age or disability requirements, and who have income and net worth within certain limits.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: So.. do I qualify for it then?[NEWLINE]agent: You might qualify for the benefits, if you meet the VA pension eligibility requirements.[NEWLINE]user: Do I need to meet several requirements?[NEWLINE]agent: Correct. If you do, you may be eligible for the Veterans Pension program.[NEWLINE]user: What if I started on active duty before September 8, 1980?[NEWLINE]agent: In that case you would fulfill one of the requirements.[NEWLINE]user: And what about the other requirements?[NEWLINE]agent: Did you NOT receive a dishonorable discharge?[NEWLINE]user: No, I actually received a dishonorable discharge. That wasn't my fault though. Jim screwed up and our whole group was disciplined for it, we did nothing wrong![NEWLINE]agent: Then I'm afraid you're not eligible for the Veterans Pension program.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Fine then. Can you at least tell me how I figure out if I served under a eligible wartime period?
