HUGHSTON AND BON
INSURANCE
Rehabilitation
taw Benefits
More Veterans
Nearly 100)000 peacetime
veterans who have suffered ser-
vice-connected disabilities will
benefit under terms of the
peacetime vocational rehabili-
tation bill signed into law by
President Kennedy, Edward P.
Onstot, manager of the Veterans
Administration Regional Office
In Dallas said.
This bill extends to these
peacetime veterans the bene-
fits of.VA’s wartime Vocational
Rehabilitation Bill.
The Veterans Administration
reports that some 12,000peace-
time veterans lnfur Injuries
each year and may be eligible
for the new benefits*
The new law provides similar
vocational rehabilitation train-
ing for peacetime disabled vet-
erans as did the original vbca-
tlonal rehabilitation bill.
Veterans entitled to the bene-
fits are those who sustained
service-connected disabilities
while In the Armed Forces (a)
during the period between World
War II and the Korean Conflict,
and (b) since February 1, 1985.
One difference between the
original vocational rehabilita-
tion law and the new law Is
that a peacetime veteran with a
disability rated less than 30
percent rnupt have a4 ‘pronounc -
ed employment handicap" In
order to qualify for vocational
____—__________________
Another very Important
change Is that there la no time
limit or final date for benefits
under the new law. Under the
previous law, benefits for most
World War II veterans ended
.July' 25, 1956, and for most
Korean veterans will end Jan-
uary 31, 1964.
From 1943 to 1962 the Vete-
rans Administration has pro-
vided vocational rehabilitation
services to one - and - a - half
million disabled veterans.
Their disabilities cut across
Injury and disease categories
from the veteran with relatively
minor disabilities to the quad-
riplegic (paralysis of all ex-
tremities), and the veteran with
very serious psychiatric
history.
Achievements
U. S. Veterans
Are Reviewed
As the nation observed Vete-
ra.?s Day Edward P. Onstot,
manager, reviewed the achieve-
ments of America’s 22,270,000
living veterans.
He found thst veterans had
established themselves to every
walk of life with an outstanding
record of adjustmept to civilian
living -- in the professions, the
skilled trades, business,Indus-
try, farming, government.
This adjustment wss made
possible to sgrest degree by the
’benefits provided veterans by
Congress such as GI education
and training and GI loans.
Onstot tmphaslzed thst one of
the most interesting and heart-
warming facts wss that large
numbers of disabled veterans,
through VA hospitalization and
rehabilitation, are making their
own way in the world on the
same terms as the able-bodied
with no favors asked.
The following, Onstot said,
were highlights of the record:
More than 10,175,000 vete-
rans have prepared for new
careers with .the help of the
educational benefits of the
World War II and Korean Con-
flict GI Bills.
Among these were 500,000
engineers, 250,000 school tea-
chers, 170,000 doctors, dentists
and nurses, and 115,000 scien-
tists.Manpower shortages which
exist In these fields today would
be much greater had Jt notbeen
. for these veterans.
• GI- trained veterans have
helped to raise the entire educa-
tional level of the United States,
Onstot pointed out, citing a Cen-
sus Bureau report that today the
average head of the household
has 10.4 years of schooling as
compared with only 9 years In
1950.
Two other VA programs --
GI loans and GI Insurance --
have assisted veterans In meet-
ing the challenge of readjust-
ment__to civilian life, Onstot
said.
Under the GI loan program
more than 6.7 million veterans
have been able to put down roots
by purchasing homes of their
own with VA-guaranteed loans.
Low-cost GI life Insurance has
given more than 5.9 million
veterans ths sens# of security
thst comes In preparing for the
care of their families should
jAoythtn^ hiippftn to thorn.
America’s disabled veterans,
fighting their way back to pro-
ductive independent Uvea, have
bee:. ..«>ped along the way by VA
benefits such as hospital and
medical care, vocational re-
habilitation training^ com -
psnsatlon and pension payments
and special grants tor automo-
biles and cartfully designed
"wheelchair homes."
Some 588,000 disabled vete-
rans received vocational re-
habilitation training. The greet
majority are employed Infields
using the ekllls acquired during
training.
When (he nation honors Its
veterans, It will be able to laud,
not only thalr exploits to war,
but thalr datarmlned paacatlma
achievements, Onatot said.
