Advisory Panel Recommends Higher Veterans Benefits
A Washington advisory commission on veterans programs urged expanded benefits after a year-long study. It called for boosts to disability compensation, from 300 to 400 monthly for total disability, increased partial disability payments, higher loan guarantees up to 30 000 in high cost areas, and a 250 burial allowance top up. The group noted the Johnson budget for veterans programs and that current benefits largely meet veterans and dependents needs.
