My brother was legally separated from his wife on 10/10/06 (he joined the military on 10/31/06) and their divorce petition was filed but was pending. He was killed in Iraq on July 26th 2007, the divorce wasn't finalized yet.. Is she still considered elligible for spousal benefits and to receive his death gratuity? If they're separated legally, doesn't that block her from being able to collect anything?
