can see much better.
Doctors told him that the lick

the treatment, however, for he
says “it might not work out so
well next time.”

PUBLIC LAW 16 BEST
BET FOR DISABLED
VETERAN IN SCHOOL
j Disabled veterans now receiv
ing schooling under the GI Bill ,
should investigate the possibility
that they are entitled to greater!
benefits under the provisions of!
Public Law 16, the disabled veter-!
ans bill.
That advice was issued by Capt.
Cicero F. Hogan, assistant national
j adjutant of the Disabled Ameri
can Veterans, in a recent address
before the Hall-Hagler DAV chap
ter in Springfield, 111.
• Captain Hogan said these in
creased benefits include larger
subsistence payments retroactive
from the date the veteran entered
school.
He said Veterans Administra
tion personnel in many areas is
sending disabled veterans to
school under the GI Bill while
Public Law 16 entitles him to ad
ditional subsistence allowance and
other benefits.
“The DAV has viewed this prac
tice as dangerous,” Captain Hogan
said, “although in many cases the
veteran is able to begin his school
ing months earlier under the GI
Gill because of the long delay in
adjudication of disabled veterans
claims for pensions.
A pensionable disability, and a
vocational handicap, must be es
tablished before a disabled veter
an is eligible under the provisions
of Public Law 16.”
Captain Hogan said the speeding
up of veteran’s entrance into
school under the GI Bill is used
by some Vetearns Administration
personnel who have set themselves
up as “one-man pruners of the na
tional budget” to save the govern
ment money.
Under the GI Bill a single man
now receives $65 a month. Public
Law 16 pays a disabled veteran
who is without dependents a min
imum of $105 a month.
Public Law 16 also provides su
pervised training and recent
amendments allow a disabled vet
eran to attend educational institu
tions more than four years if his
training requires an extension of
time.
