widows pensions

I am 75 yr.old. I now receive SS pension and VA DIC compensation from late husband. If I should remarry, can I keep these and also collect a pension from 2nd husband for CSRS (Civil Ser.) and keep all 3 with any offset?

Thanks

Re: widows pensions

You mean, i assume, if husband #2 dies. Probably, yo cannot collect all three. The social security web site should have the answer, though. Call the VA and they can help as well. You pprobably get husband #2's -- but contact the relevant payees and get their response in writing before you make the marriage decision if it is significant to you.
