Are National Guard veterans considered for veteran benefits?
Not always. See your local VA representative.
How do you determine what your veterans disability benefit will be?
The patient vet doesn't make that determination. The VA does that after examining him. They set the value mark, and it will be done in percentages (%). 10% disabled, etc. Actually, benefits are derived based on the character of the veterans discharge. Once a year the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) publishes a booklet that describes (generally) all the veterans benefits. If a veteran has an honorable discharge, he/she is eligible for all (should he/she meet the requirments). If he/she has a general discharge, the veteran is not eligible for education benefits (GI Bill). If the Veteran has an "other than honorable" discharge, it is up to the DVA to determine if he/she will be paid for compensation for service connected disabilities and will determine if the other benefits will be paid out as well. If the veteran has a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), he/she can be buried in a Veteran Cemetary but isn't eligible for much else. A dishonorable discharge excludes the veteran from all benefits. It is a misconception that if you get less than an honorable discharge that your whole time in the service is characterized by the listed character of discharge. An example would be: Let's say an individual was selling drugs and was given a BCD discharge. It was determined by the evidence he was selling in the last six months of his/her service. If he/she had served three years prior to that, that service is considered honorable. The Veteran needs to apply for benefits for that three year period which is deemed HONORABLE, thus all benefits would apply.

Are there benefits for widows of Soldiers medal recipients?
You would need to contact the Veteran's Administration or the branch of military the the soldier served in (Army I assume since you say soldier and not not marine or sailor). The benefits really don't depend on whether or not the veteran was a medal recipient. If he retired from the service the widow would receive pension or benefits. If he did not retire and only served for say four years the widow may still be able to get some veterans benefits. see links below
Do reservists qualify as veterans?
A veteran is anyone who has served in the military. As far as veteran benefits are concerned, only those who have served at least six months on active duty are eligible for benefits.

Does a girlfriend qualify for anything when a veteran?
Your question is incomplete. That being said, we'll try to anticipate where you were going with it, and give an answer based on that anticipation. Assuming you're referring to the girlfriend of a veteran, they're not entitled to anything. No educational benefits, no SGLI benefits, nothing. A spouse or child would be; a boyfriend or girlfriend is not. If the girlfriend is the veteran, she is entitled to benefits - her boyfriend (or girlfriend, if applicable) would not be.

Is there a benefit to the heirs of a Navy veteran?
In general, no - the contract between the government and the veteran, which determines which benefits apply, is terminated upon the veteran's death (assuming benefits extended until that time). Though there may have been allowances for dependents, again, the contract is with the veteran and not the dependents. The exception is any SGLI (Serviceman's Group Life Insurance Policy) benefits, which are similar to any term life insurance settlement. It depends solely on those designated by the veteran for benefit payment upon the veteran's death.
