Illinois raises veterans disability pension via railroad plan
Effective June 1 the increase is authorized by legislation signed by President Eisenhower. Ralph B. Johnson of the Illinois Veterans' Commission says the act adds a 10 percent raise to the retirement fund and excludes railroad retirement from VA income when evaluating disability pension claims. Veterans who waived railroad retirement to receive disability pay may cancel the waiver and get railroad retirement plus pension if eligible. In Grundy County veterans should contact the Illinois Veterans' Commission Service at 112 E Washington St Morris.
