I think this only applies until the widow/widower reaches a certain age 65 I think.Audie Murphy's wife is one who lost her benefits because she re-married before you reached the cut out age.
Ah, right...thanks for the explanation.

Not sure if Audie Murphy's widow would be in need of the money mind, unless he died destitute
