Le maturi { them ac the whims reach most of us ought to av that Just because you have been rated 10 percent disabled by the VA, does that mean you are eligible for training under P.L. 16, the V¢ tional Rehabilitation Act? Tae answer is “no,” a loud no. True, P.L. 16 was set up in the first place to give “rehabilitation” to disabled veterans, and rehabili- tation means training and edu tion. It was designed to give a di abled ex-scrvicer extra training to compensate him for disability and to make him a productive tread-winning citizen But there's a hitch. The law that VA must determine that a veteran really is in need of the trair ing, and that the training will en- able the veteran to overcome his handicap. his PERE Look at the case of Kirk F. Way k in Dec. 1945, Kirk received dis- alility rating 30 per cent from the VA. He has a service-connected dis- ability. The 30 per cent, trans ated into dollars, means $4140 a month Kirk will keep on getting that $41.40 for as long as his disability remains the same. If ‘it got worse he can apply for more compensation. If better, the VA can lower it Now, wouldn't You think that Kirk would be eligible for training under P.L. 16? With a disability which the VA figures is bad enough to rate $41.40 month, wouldn't Kirk be likely to have a handicap? And wouldn't it be logical to think that the handicap could be over- come by P.L. 16 training In Kirk% case the VA has decided to use his own words he ‘mentally and physically unfit receive rehabilitation that is to The VA doss not think he any position, physically or mentally to profit by the training. And the VA is well with its rights in mak- ing that kind of a decision If the VA doesn't think t overcome the then it doesn’t training. In fact law it can't There's more to it. Kiik F point did start a course of v 1ehabilitation under PL. 16 decided would be able to come his handicap by the inz. But it was a tough course, and Kirk had to drop out on account of Lis disability So it would hardly be practical for the VA to set up another course of training for him, waste the time is in train- ran’s to train- !and effort and money to fix him up again and then have the same thing happen So what did Kirk do?. He wrote me that if the VA was going to take this view of his case then at least he should be given more pension. . or compensation, as it's officially called. Because, says Kirk, if he is not physically and mentally able _'go through with his training cours then he must be more than 30 per cent disabled. But that's not necessarily & possible for a veteran like Kirk to be only 30 per cent disabled but stil! not in a position to profit from training under P.L. 16 The point is, the VA is within its rights to stop a P.L. 16 training course if it figures the trainir not going to help the veteran ov ccme his handicap.
