Important News
For Veterans
Eligible disabled veterans who file ap
plications for automobiles or other con
\eyances under a new law recently enact
ed by the Congress will have to wait for
their cars until the Congress reconvenes1
and can appropriate funds to administer
the Act.
Veterans Administration explained that
since the new law does not contain an ap
propriation of funds for the cars, the agen
cy will have to ask the Congress for a
special appropriation when it reconvenes
next January.
Meanwhile, VA will accept applications
under the new law and adjudieiate them.
Then it will hold all completed applica
tions in file until the money is available.
The new Act—Public Law 187, which
went into effect October 20, 1951— applies
n> eligible disabled veterans of World War
II and those who served in the Armed
orces on and after June 27. 1950, the
start of the Korean Campaign.
To be eligible for automobiles or other
conveyances, these veterans most be en
titled to compensation for any of the fol
lowing service-connected disabilities:
1. Loss or permanent loss of use of one
or both feet.
2. Loss or permanent loss of use of one
or both hands.
2. Complete loss of sight in both eyes
or permanent impairment of vision of both
eyes to the degree as to constitute virtual
blindness.
Under the law, VA is authorized to pay
up to $1,600 toward the purchase price of
on automobile or other conveyances, in
cluding equipment with special attach
ments and devices as VA may deem neces
sary for each veteran. No money can be
paid directly to the veteran. The law speci
fics that no payment shall be made by the
government for the repair, maintenance or
replacement of any such automobile or
other conveyance.
The law further provides that no vet
eran shall be entitled to more than one
automobile or other conveyance and that*
any veteran who received an outomobile*
or other conveyance under previous laws
•‘■hall not be entitled to another one un
der the new law.
