Disabled Veterans
Will Receive
Greater Benefits ;
Veterans administration said
today that veterans with service
connected disabilities rated 50 to
60 percent, and who have one or
more dependents, will receive ad
ditional allowances for their de
pendents by virtue of a , recently
enacted law. . . .
Previously, only veterans rated
60 percent and up were entitled
to dependency allowances. The
group rated 50 to 60 percent was
made eligible by Public Law 339
of the 81st Congress, approved
Oct. 10 and effective Dec.. 1.
Monthly additional amounts for
veterans disabled in wartime,
based on . 100 percent disability,
are: wife alone, $21; wife and
one child, $35; wife and two chil
dren, $45.50; wife and three or
more children, $56; one child (no
wife), $14; two children, $24.50;
three or more children, $35; one
dependent " parent, $17.50;' and
two, dependent parents, $35. : :
Of these amounts, the veteran
receives the percentage his, dis
ability rating bears, to the total.
A veteran with a 50 percent . rat
ing, -for example, would receive
half of the above rates. '.
Veterans entitled to compen
sation for disabilities Incurred in
peacetime service received 80 per
cent of 'the applicable wartime
amount.
In order to qualify for depend
ency ' allowances, the veteran
must submit' the usual orOof of
relationship, such as marriage
and birth records. Where his de
pendents are on record with VA
on December 1, 1949, and the
necessary evidence of relation
ship and dependency is furnish
ed within a months from that
date, the award will be made
effective December 1, VA said.
Otherwise, the effective date will
be the date the evidence Is re
clved. VA currently is reviewing the
case files of veterans rated be
tween 50 and 60 percent disabled
go as to advise them of their pos
sible entitlement to dependency
allowances.
It is estimated that some 81,-
000 veterans may qualify for de
pendency allowances under the
new provision, at a first year cost
of about $15,400,000.
