Does the surviving spouse get their spouse's VA disability benefits when they die?

I was reading up on this and was told by someone that when the person getting the benefits dies, the surviving spouse will automatically receive them..or at least part of what they were receiving.

But it looks like if the surviving spouse makes over a certain limit set by congress, then they wouldn't be eligible. FYI the amount is only like $23,000.

Just would like some clarification. Thanks
