Rahall veterans bill urged to extend disability pension eligibility
The American Legion convention in St. Louis urged Congress to amend Title 38 USC to broaden VA Non-Service Connected Disability Pension eligibility for veterans in war like danger on the Korean Peninsula Lebanon Grenada and Panama. The letter cites HR4763 and HR2300, notes no passage to law yet, and urges action now that Democrats control Congress. It lists Korea Lebanon Grenada and Panama casualty figures and explains eligibility changes over time with cited public laws and VA references. It calls for dignity and financial help for affected veterans and invites letters to the editor.
