This compares with S2BO million in the preceding year and represents an 8.2% in crease, Mr. Wheeler said. While all benefits were up for the ’year, compensation, educational benefits, and med ical services reflected the larg est increases. Compensation to living vet erans and dependents of de ceased veterans amounted to SSB million 700 thousand, up over $5 million from the pre vious year. Compensation is paid to the veteran or depen dent survivors as a result of the veteran’s disability or death suffered in the Armed Forces. Pension benefits to veter ans and dependents were up by over $3 million to nearly SSO million for the year. Pen sion benefits are paid to veter ans permanently and totally disabled not as a result of military service and to eligible survivors of veterans who died of nonservice-connected causes. Insurance benefits from all veterans’ insurance programs amounted to almost sl4 mil lion; burial allowances were over $1 million; educational benefits were up by $4 mil lion to sl2 million 300 thou sand; and grants for specially adapted automobiles for cer tain severely disabled veterans was $143 thousand. There were 7,405 guaran teed and direct VA home loans valued at $135 million, up $516 million from a year ago. Operating funds for VA medical facilities in the state increased by $314 million for the year. Mr. Wheeler noted that in creases in veterans’ benefits indicate a growing number of veterans in the state needing service. Presently the state’s veteran population is over 500,000 and growing by 25,000 or more each year. Mr. Wheeler also noted that the advancing ages of World War I and World War II veter ans bring benefits more sharp ly into focus, particularly compensation for service-in curred disabilities and the need for more hospital and medical services.
