4 The Nevada County Nugget Sept. 25, 1968 Disabled veterans getting pay hike Nearly 2 million service-disabled veterans will receive increased compensation payments beginning next January 1 under a bill signed into law August 19 by President Johnson, according to Gordon Elliott, Manager of VA's Northern California Regional Office. Some 112,000 veterans with 100 per cent service-connected disabilities will be increased from $300 to $400 a month. 13840,000 veterans with serviceconnected disabilities rated 10 to 90 per cent will have their payments increased eight per cent. Passed unanimously by the House on June 6 and by the Senate on August 2, the new law authorizes the VA to provide invalid lifts, other therapeutic or rehabilitative devices and medical equipment and supplies to eligible veterans, This provision became effective when the bill was signed. Increased compensation rates were recommended by the U.S. Veterans Advisory Commission appointed last year at the directior. of the President "to conduct a comprehensive study of the pension, compensation and benefits system for veterans, their families and their survivors,.to assure that our tax dollars are being utlized most wisely and that our Government is meeting fully its responsibilities to all those to whom we owe so much." The increased rates will appear in the January 1969 disability compensation checks veterans receive from the VA, Elliott said. Veterans drawing disability compensation need not write or contact the VA in advance concerning this increase.
