TT continues to classify it as income earned for services performed, as if she is a consultant or independent contractor. However, the allotment is a retirement benefit and not for any services provided. It should be noted that this is the first time her former agency has given a benefit package for a retiring Executive.

Those questions are designed to determine if the income will likely be considered to be self-employment income by the IRS. They won't appear on the tax return, so if you are sure the income isn't self-employment income, you can give those answers and the income on your Form 1099-MISC will be properly reported on your tax return.
