Many Disabled Veterans Will Receive Larger Checks
Many disabled veterans will be paid more in the next few weeks. Legislation has been passed that provides for increases in the basic rates payable to veterans who have service-connected disabilities, the regional office of the Veterans administration in Kansas City, Mo., recently announced.
The legislation becomes effective Thursday, Dec. 1 and the increases should begin around Monday, Jan. 2, 1950, the V.A. added.
The basic wartime rate for total disability has been increased from $138 to $150 a month, and most veterans now receiving compensation for service-connected disabilities will be eligible for these. These increased payments are automatic and need not be applied for, the V. A. said.
Public Law 339 also provides for an increase in death compensation payments to dependents of veterans who died as a result of service-connected disability. The wartime rates for a widow with one child has been increased from $100 to $105 a month, while the rate for each additional child has been increased from $15 to $25 a month. This new legislation does not affect the families of veterans who die without a service-connected cause. They are covered by other laws, the V.A. said.
It was pointed out that certain World War I veterans, whose condition is rated as "presumptive service-connected", also will receive increased payments. Their total disability is now $138 a month.
Veterans with a 50 per cent disability now will be eligible for additional compensation for dependents Proof of dependency must be furnished the V.A.
