VA pensions are paid to wartime veterans totally and permanently disabled from circumstances unrelated to their military service. Ibey are paid also to survivors of war­ time 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. Veterans and their survivors who are receiving benefits under "improved" pension plan of 1979 will receive the increase. Pensions for veterans and survivors under the ̂ old" plan remain fixed and payable *t the rates in effect in 1978. But those Tates are protected against termination that would other­ wise result from cost-of-living increase in their income from Social Security. "Old" plan recipients may request transfer to proved" plan a^any VA will carefully review each application to advise to chooee the plan which works best to their personal ad­ vantage. 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 is available nationwide. Just consult the "U.S. Government" listings in your local directory for the number in your area.
