Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations concerning the rate of special monthly compensation payable to a veteran with a totally disabling service-connected disability who either has additional service-connected disability ratable at 60 percent or is permanently housebound by reason of service-connected disability. This change is necessary because of a General Counsel precedent opinion which held that the regulation restricts eligibility in a manner not authorized by the statute. The intended effect of this amendment is to bring the regulation into conformity with the statute.
