Add 3 terms new to Human Situations: 'Dependent' 'Spouse' 'Survivor' #26

These would be helpful attributes for a number of insurance and benefit related human services, specifically as related to Veterans benefit programs.

Glossary definitions:

Spouse: a husband or wife, considered in relation to their partner.

Dependent: a person who relies on another, esp. a family member, for financial support.

Survivor: spouse or dependent of a deceased individual.

Sounds like these are not human situations, but meta-situations. That is, Spouse-of-Veteran is the condition, not simply Spouse. I wonder if these meta-situations can each wrap the main condition.
