Veterans Administration Release
At the close of February three
major programs of the Veterans
Administration in Nebraska
showed a decline instead of a
gain for the first time in more
than a year.
Ashley Westmoreland, the VA’s
Nebraska manager, said declines
all of them small—were noted in
the number of disability pension
and compensation cases, the
number oi World War II veterans
training under the GI bill, and
the number of disabled veterans
training under Public Law 16,
the vocational act.
During February the number
of Nebraska veterans, including
World War I and II, receiving
disability pensions and compen
sation dropped to 15,005, a de
crease of 293 from the previous
month.
Principal cause of the drop,
Westmoreland said, is due to a
new method of processing claims
for disability resulting from ma
laria. Awards for malaria dis
ability are now limited to one
year periods. Additional awards
beyond a year will be allowed
only in cases where the claimant
of recurrences or relapse. Ex
piration of malaria awards ac
counted for the overall decline I
in the number of disability j
awards.
Meanwhile, the number of
World War II veterans enrolled
in schools and in on-the-job
training courses under the GI
Bill dropped from 22,438 to 22,
420. The number of disabled
World War II veterans taking
training under the Public Law
16 declined from 1,252 to 1,248.
Westmoreland said both of these
declines, however, are too small
to be considered indicative of a
trend.
