Abstract
This document amends Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations concerning: The clothing allowance based on certain service-connected disabilities; the dates of the Vietnam era; the payment of benefits to a surviving spouse for the month in which the veteran dies; the period for which accrued benefits are payable; and burial allowance eligibility. The intended effect of this amendment is to bring VA regulations into conformance with statutory revisions contained in the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1996.
