Expansion urged for veteran benefits by advisory panel
A high level veterans benefits panel urged widening the program scope after a year long study. It proposed boosting totally disabled veterans monthly payments by 100 to 400 and raising partial disability tied to the cost of living. Home loan guarantees would rise to 10000 with direct loans up to 20000 and potential 30000 in high cost areas. Burial allowance would increase from 250 to 400. The group noted Johnson's 7.3 billion fiscal 1969 veteran budget and said current programs largely meet national obligations.
