Which of the following requirements does NOT apply to Survivors Pension eligibility?

Survivors Pension eligibility primarily hinges on several key criteria related to the veteran’s service and the financial status of the claimant. To be eligible for this pension, the veteran must have served during a recognized wartime period and must have been discharged under conditions that are considered honorable. Additionally, the claimant's income must fall below a specified legal limit.

One significant aspect of the eligibility requirements is that the veteran’s service does not need to include combat. This means that simply having served during a wartime period is enough; combat experience is not a prerequisite for Survivors Pension eligibility. As such, the requirement related to combat service does not apply, making it the exception in this context. The other criteria are indeed necessary for eligibility.
