Higher compensation outlined for disabled veterans
John T. Eastlack of the Veterans Administration explains a new law sets a special monthly rate of 265 for total service connected disability with 60 percent or more combined with housebound status. A 212 monthly rate applies when such disabilities occurred in peacetime. Permanently housebound means mostly confined to home with life-long disablement. The 1 percent rating can push total beyond 100 percent, with possible extra pay for specific losses and dependents.
