Show VETERANS HERE'S YOUR ANSWER (For assistance with Veterans' Vet-erans' claims, contact C. Norman Baxter, American Legion Service Officer. He will be glad to help you). Q I am receiving a pension under the new pension law for ( non service-connected) severe' emphysema. Recently I suffered suf-fered a heart attack and was rushed to a local hospital for emergency care. Will the VA pay for this hospital care? A No. The Veterans ' Administration Ad-ministration is not authorized to pay for hospital care in a private hospital for conditions not related to military service However, there is an additional pension benefit available if your combined disabilities are so severe that they confine you essentially to your home and require the assistance of an aid and attendant. This addi-' addi-' tional pension may help to pay for your hospital care. 1 |
