W. R. PhillipB, director of the
■Winston-Salem Veterans Admin
istration regional office, said
nearly one million checks mailed
November 1st by 'VA carried a
welcome reminder to the recip
ients that they were relieved of
some paperwork.
Phillips explained that PL 91-
588, enacted last December, al
lows the VA administrator to ex
empt fixim filing annual income
questionnaises (IQ) those pen-
sionetrs 72 years old and older
who have been on the rolls dur
ing two conseoutive yeai-s.
These pensioners include vet
erans, widows, and parents re
ceiving dependency and indem
nity compensation (Did pay
ments ifitwn VA.
Phillips pointed out that VA
usually mails the questionnaires
to pensioners with their Novem
ber 1 checks, but this year about
half of the pensioners received
notices that they wouldn’t have
to file IQs.
However, it was stressed that
even though they won’t have to
file IQs, these 72 year old pen
sioners still must continue to re-
poht changes In income to VA.
VA adjusts pension and DIC
payments from information ob
tained from IQs, it was explain
ed. Pensipns are paid, on the
! basis of need, to veterans total-
' ly and permanently disabled from
i nonservice causes, and to wldoiws
I and children of veterans who die
i of nonservice causes,
j Parents with limited income of
I veterans who die of service con-
i nected disabilities may be eligd-
1 ble for Dependency and Indem-
1 nity Oopensation.
1 Phillips urged veterans, de
pendents and survivors who
■ think they may 'be eli/gible for
pension, DIC or other benefits
to contact their Icxal VA office,
or local veterans service organ
ization representatives.
