## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations to implement Public Law 108-183, the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003. This public law added service in the Philippine Scouts as qualifying service for payment of compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC), and monetary burial benefits at the full-dollar rate, and provided for payment of DIC at the full-dollar rate to survivors of certain veterans of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and recognized guerrilla forces who lawfully reside in the United States. This document adopts the interim final rule, which was published in the Federal Register on February 16, 2006 at 71 FR 8215, as a final rule with a technical correction.
