They actually broke down the number of cells by organs and cell types, going through the literature available to come up with a detailed list of volumes and densities in everything from intestines to knees. So, for example, there are 50 billion fat cells in the average body, and 2 billion heart muscle cells. Adding all those up, they got 37.2 million. (This doesnât include any of the millions of microbes living on you, by the way.) The authors point out that this isnât simply a good pub trivia question.
What Are Aid and Attendance Benefits? Aid and Attendance is a benefit paid by Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans, veteran spouses or surviving spouses. It is paid in addition to a veteran's basic pension. The benefit may not be paid without eligibility to a VA basic pension.
Joe (a single veteran) has an annual income of $5,000. His annual income limit is $12,256. To determine Joe's Pension subtract his annual income of $5,000 from the $12,256 income limit which gives him an annual pension rate of $7,256.This translates into a monthly pension check of approximately $605. When they do, they generally must serve 24 months to be eligible for pension or any other benefit. 2  But note the exclusions in 38 CFR 3.12(d), AND. 3  you are permanently and totally disabled, or are age 65 or older, 4  AND. 5  your countable family income is below a yearly limit set by law.
