Pension limits reshape aid for disabled veterans
The disabled will need constant attendance and many will be barred by income limits. Unmarried veterans with service-connected disabilities face a pension cap under $1000 yearly and those with dependents under $2500 yearly. President Truman vetoed the measure, estimating first year cost at 16.7 million and approaching 400 million annually later. Previous rates were 60 dollars monthly until ten years of receipt or age 65, then rising to 72 dollars monthly.
