What can pass to family?
Source monitoring
The GPAA source scraper queues changes for review; it never auto-amends published pension rules.
Explore your possible position.
Change personal circumstances to see a source-linked formula reference and the outstanding evidence. A red or amber flag is a prompt for review—not a substitute for a decision by the authority.
Result and explanation
Enter the scenario and select calculate.
Move from uncertainty to application.
Follow a clear sequence from veteran verification to the right GPAA form and a documented decision. Track steps in this tab and copy the checklist.
Your journey
Application pathway
Obtain recognition and relevant service records from DMV.
MVP01 for a veteran; MVP02 for eligible survivors and dependants.
Identity, means, relationship, death and study evidence as applicable.
Use GPAA’s published submission channels, retain copies and reference.
Request written reasons and the prescribed reconsideration route if refused.
Other benefit connections
Counselling, education and pension benefits have specific dependant linkages under section 5(2). Housing, healthcare and other veteran services are not automatically passed to a spouse.

A short guided flow that reuses your scenario inputs, explains the right form and produces a copyable preparation summary. It does not submit an application.
