Veterans Administration--Veterans' benefits; institutional awards. Final regulation.
The Veterans Administration has amended one of its regulations to increase the amount of monthly compensation, pension or retired pay payable to a chief officer of a non-VA institution on behalf of an incompetent veteran patient from $50 to $60. The need for this action results from enactment of the Veterans' and Survivors' Pension Improvement Act of 1978 which increased the amount of benefits payable to hospitalized veterans without dependents from $50 to $60.
