Reinstatement of War Insurance Reform Urged by Senate Panel
A Senate special committee report urges full authority for the veterans bureau director to reorganize the agency both at the main office and in the field. It calls for district rating boards to examine claimants in person, broader reinstatement rules for wartime insurance, limited vocational training, increased allowances for veterans with children, and tighter controls on retroactive awards and compensation. The proposed changes would also extend bureau hospital access to older wars, allow lawsuits over disputed claims, and boost the director’s salary to 12 000.
