VA Income
ATLANTA — VA pensioners
are reminded that they must re
turn their 1967 annual income
questionnaires no later than'Jan
uary 31, 1968 to avoid suspension
of benefits, reports Pete Wheel
er, Director of the Georgia
Department of Veterans Service.
“Failure to complete and re
turn the form could result in a
pensioner having to pay back VA
payments he received in 1967,”
Mr. Wheeler said.
In 1967 over 45 thousand Geor
gians — disabled veterans, wid
ows, children of veterans and
other dependents — received the
se VA pensions.
Mr. Wheeler noted that this
regulation is not to be confused
by those veterans and widows re
ceiving compensations for ser
vice-connected disabilities and
deaths.
Assistance will be given those
pensioners who need help in com
pleting the questionnaires by field
office managers of the Georgia
Department of Veterans Service.
