Less than 10 percent disabled, 3,756, of which number 3,710 served during peace time; not permanent total, 1,402; less than 90-day service, 1,703; misconduct, 782; income provisions, 1,073; Senator MCCARRAN. What does that mean? General HINES. There is a limitation in the law that if a single man in the nonservice-connected group is in receipt of $1,000 or more income, he is not entitled to pension. The limitation is $2,500 in the case of a married man. Senator MCCARRAN. That is in the regulations? General HINES. In the regulations. Senator RUSSELL. These are nonservice-connected cases? Mr. MOORE. Federal employees, 1,534; value of estate more than $1,500, 25; no participation, 12,178; not honorably discharged, 31; not 55 years of age, 23,333; not 50 percent disabled, 25,678; member of National Guard, 8; other reasons (various), 173; total, 71,686. Will Senator MCCARRAN. There was an item back there which I should like to inquire about. I did not catch it as you went over them. you read back over those items? Mr. MOORE. Less than 10 percent disabled; not permanent total; less than 90-day service; misconduct Senator MCCARRAN. Referring to the matter of misconduct, how do you get your proof on that; from the records? General HINES. From the medical records; yes, sir; and also the War Department records-the entire record of the case. Senator MCCARRAN. Does that mean dishonorably discharged? General HINES. Not necessarily. The common form of misconduct is syphilis. Mr. Chairman, in connection with this particular point here, the numbers on the rolls, and the reduction in the rates Senator RUSSELL. General Hines, if you will pardon me just a minute, Senator McCarran says there is one other item there he would like to inquire about. Senator MCCARRAN. There is one other item, a little farther down. on the list, about which I should like to ask you a question. Mr. MOORE. Federal employees-is that the item? General HINES. That means a reduction only. It would not mean that because they were Federal employees they would not be entitled to any compensation, but they would draw a smaller amount. Senator MCCARRAN. Now please go down a little farther. Mr. MOORE. Value of estate more than $1,500 Senator MCCARRAN. What does that mean? In other words, there is an estate now existing? General HINES. That is in the case of the N.P. or neuro-phsyciatric cases, incompetents under guardianship, where they have large estates. Wherever the estate is over $1,500, until the estate is reduced by payments from it for the care of the veteran down to $500, no further payments would be made to that estate. We had a problem where incompetent beneficiaries were in receipt of compensation or insurance, and had built up large estates, naturally more than they would ever need in their lifetime. They had become bones of contention for relatives to fight over. The Congress decided that it was in the interest of the man and the Government not to permit those to increase; |
