This bill amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the pensions for blind veterans and amputee and paralyzed veterans. The amendments increase the monthly pension amount for both categories of veterans from $150 to $180. The bill maintains the requirement that applications for these pensions must be submitted in a prescribed form to the department, and it empowers the Adjutant General to determine the eligibility of applicants, with his decision being final.

The changes aim to enhance the financial support provided to veterans who are blind, amputees, or paralyzed, reflecting a commitment to improving the welfare of these individuals. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
