Increased VET Benefits for World War I Veterans
Post 3673 VFW leader L Perotti notes new law raises compensation for veterans with dependents rated 50 percent or more and extends increased rates to World War I vets with service-connected disabilities. The reform includes progressive TB ratings, 100 percent for two years after arrest, then 50 percent for four years, and higher death benefits for widows. Peacetime rates for disabled vets rise to 80 percent of wartime levels.
