Vet Pension Checks Rise In December Veterans and their survivors who are receiving VA pension checks under the plan will receive a 3.5 percent cost of living increase effective Dec. 1, 1983.

According to Harold T. Bushey, director of the Pittsburgh VA Regional Office, VA pensions are paid to wartime veterans totally and permanently disabled from circumstances unrelated to their military service. They are paid also to survivors of wartime veterans who are in need. Unlike compensation paid to those disabled because of military service, pensions are affected by income from other sources. The first check to be received by beneficiaries reflecting the cost-of-living increase will be the check received on or about Jan.

1, 1984. Veterans and their survivors who are receiving benefits under the "improved" pension plan of 1979 will receive the increase. Pensions for veterans and survivors under the "old" plan remain fixed and payable at the rates in effect in 1978. But those rates are protected against termination that would otherwise result from cost-of-living increases in their income from Social Security. "Old" plan recipients may request transfer to the "improved" plan at any time and VA will carefully review each application to advise applicants to choose the plan which works best to their personal advantage.

Rates and details about the pension increase and the program in general are available from any VA regional office or from a representative of a veterans service organization. Toll-free telephone service to VA regional offices available nationwide. Just consult the "U.S. Government" listings in your local directory for the number in your area.
