Pension Reform Sparks Reversal in Secretary Smith Action
The pension board reversal ties to disability standards for Civil War veterans and a high court style inquiry. Secretary Hoke Smith had supported a broad reform for those unable to work, while critics argued the change redefined disability and the right to pension. The case centers on Charles T. Vate and others, with debates over service-connected injuries and eligibility under the 27 June act.
