Alice, see Cump's response below. He has verified your assertion

regarding indigent or disabled. I never doubted you, Alice. I just

thought by drilling a bit deeper, we might be able to verify your

claim.

Cump, thanks for digging this out. For those who are interested,

what the Cumpster dug out says, in part,

"Confederate Pension Records
Updated December 12, 2007

The agencies listed below are repositories for Confederate pension records. The veteran was eligible to apply for a pension to the State in which he lived, even if he served in a unit from a different State. Generally, an applicant was eligible for a pension only if he was indigent or disabled. In your letter to the repository, state the Confederate veteran's name, his widow's name, the unit(s) in which he served, and the counties in which he and his widow lived after the Civil War. Some repositories also have records of Confederate Homes (for veterans, widows, etc.), muster rolls of State Confederate militia, and other records related to the war."

Please note above, the use of Alice's exact intended meaning and the use of "generally" as Alice intended it be used, including mention of "indigent" or "disabled"

Once again, I have been educated - thanks to Alice and the Cumpster.
