My husband gets 60% VA benfits he is 70. Should he now be getting 100% benefits?

Have you spoken with the office at the VA that might handle this? Or a service officer at one of the Veteran Service Organizations?
I have know a few old vets and never heard of any of them receiving 100% disability just because they had a birthday.
There is a VA program for vets to receive a pension but I can't recall what or how it is administered.
If I were you I would contact one of the vet service organizations for assistance. DAV is usually pretty good at this.

He receives disability benefits but I read once he turns 70 he automatic qualify for full benefits

What sort of benefits is he receiving? VA benefits do not increase because of a birthday.
Receiving a 60% VA benefit doesn't really say anything. Is it for a disability? If it is I do believe he must increase his disability rating.
