Veterans Aid by Reed Johnson Law Aids 65 000 Vets
The Reed Johnson law of June 1924 assisted about 65 000 disabled World War veterans with 28.8 million dollars in benefits. Roughly 30 000 of these had never before received government compensation, per United States Veterans Bureau data via Washington rehabilitation officials. Tuberculosis victims received 13.0 million, mentally incompetent veterans 7.5 million, and 4 336 dependents got 300 497 in added allowances. Deceased veterans’ dependents gained 1 154 250, attendants and nurses received 525 800, with nearly 1.0 million in compensation to 800 veterans under general hospitalization. The law opened many previously neglected cases for review by the Veterans Bureau and Congress discussions in December 1925 sought further extensions and clarifications.
