Pension Eligibility?

Question:

Hello Jim, First off I would like to say THANK YOU for offering to answer questions that would otherwise go unanswered due to technological incompetence (the inability to know where to go to find the answers needed) as seems to always be the case with me. I wanted to ask you if you are familiar with VA Pensions. What I wanted to know is:  does a Vietnam Veteran have to be disabled to receive a pension for the services performed while enlisted, and /or given a monthly amount similar to those that the SSI Administration payments are given?  The person who I am asking this for served 3 years Active Duty and his rank was sergeant.
