Compen- 'l s^ition is payment for any wrvice-connected injury or illness. Pensions, on the other hand, Represent payments to needy wartime veterans for non-service injuries or illnesses, based on the indiv idual's need. 5* -The pension increase granted ^ last yeai is a generous one. It daises the needy vet above Z- federal "poverty guidelines." Beginning this year, the max­ imum yearly pension for a single veteran rose to $3,550. A vet with one dependent and no other in­ come will receive about $4,600 annually, under the new plan. Congress has also provided an automatic increase for pen­ sioners each time there's a cost- of-living increase in social security benefits. But VA officials have issued some warnings about the im­ provements. Vet pensioners with working wives would lose their pensions if they take the wrong option under the new law -- and other pensioners could be jeopor- dized in other ways. PETRA... The ancient Nabataen city of Jordan was "rediscovered" by the Swiss explorer Burckhardt after being "lost" for 500 years. A Roman province 100 years before Christ, Petra is en­ tered by the "Sig", a mile- long narrow gorge with walls towering 200 feet overhead. VA pensioners can be best in­ formed and able to protect them­ selves by consulting with of­ ficials at one of the VA's 58 regional offices as listed in the phone book under U.S. Govern­ ment. You have until October 1, 1979 to decide whether to abide by the new rules or stick to your old guidelines. Contact your VA representative before making that choice.
