Abstract
Certain Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations state that to be eligible for pension a veteran must be permanently and totally disabled from nonservice-connected disability not due to the veteran's own willful misconduct or vicious habits. The statute upon which these regulations is based was changed in 1978 to delete references to ``vicious habits.'' The purpose of this rule is to conform the regulations to the statute.
