Disabled Vets’ lie In Compensating Be ta Sept Cheste
Atlanta According to
Georgia Veterans Service Di
rector Pete Wheeler, several
thousand veterans in Georgia
stand to benefit from a bill
recently signed into law in
creasing disability compensa
tion.
Public Law 92-238, among
other things, provides for an
increase in compensation rates
paid to disabled veterans
amounting to approximately
10 per cent.
The wartime rate for vet
erans having 10 per cent dis
abilities has been raised from
$25 to S2B monthly; for 20
per cent disabilities, from $46
to ssl, for 30 per cent, from
S7O to $77; for 40 per cent,
from $96 to $106; for 50 per
cent, from $135 to $149; for
60 per cent, from $163 to
$179; for 70 per cent, from
$193 to $212; for 80 per cent,
from $223 to $245; and 90

per cent, from $250 to $275.
The rate for a 100 per cent
disabled veteran goes from
$450 to $495 a month.
Wheeler said, “Although
these increases become effec
tive Aug. 1, 1972, veterans
won’t notice the increases un
til they receive their Septem
ber checks from the VA.”
veterans wnose service
connected disabilities are
rated at 50 per cent or more
are entitled to additional al
lowances for dependents, and
these allowances are also being
increased about 10 per cent.
Hie rates for a disability of
50 per cent or more are paya
ble in the same ratio that the
disability compares to a 100
per cent disability. For exam
ple, the dependent allowance
for a veteran with a 100 per
cent disability incurred in war
time service, and who has a
wife but no children will be
s3l a month under the new
rates. Tbe dependent al
lowance for a veteran rated
50 per cent disabled with a
wife but no children will re
ceive sl6 monthly.
Public Law 92-238 also pro
vides for an equalization in
compensation rates paid to
wartime and peacetime vet
erans. For some forty years,
the rates have been different.
At the present, peacetime
veterans receive 80 per cent of
the amounts paid to wartime
veterans. This equalization
provision, however, does not
become effective until July 1,
1973.
