If a veteran receiving a pension disappears, the Secretary may pay that pension to the veteran's spouse and children. The Secretary may presume that certain facts about the veteran remain unchanged, but payments may not exceed the amounts payable if the veteran had died from a non-service-connected disability.
If a veteran* receiving a pension* under subchapter II of this chapter disappears, the Secretary* may pay the pension that otherwise would have been paid to the veteran to the veteran's spouse* and children. When applying this section, the Secretary may presume, without the reports required by section 1506(a) of this title, that the veteran's status when the veteran disappeared remains unchanged as to permanent and total disability, income, and net worth. Payments to a spouse or child* under this section may not be more than the amount that person would receive if the veteran had died from a disability not connected to military service.
Where a veteran* receiving pension* under subchapter II of this chapter disappears, the Secretary* may pay the pension otherwise payable to such veteran’s spouse* and children. In applying the provisions of this section, the Secretary may presume, without reports pursuant to section 1506(a) of this title, that the status of the veteran at the time of disappearance, with respect to permanent and total disability, income, and net worth, continues unchanged. Payments made to a spouse or child* under this section shall not exceed the amount to which each would be entitled if the veteran died of a non-service-connected* disability.
