Posted by Haiki "The issue in this case is whether state courts may allocate portions of the veterans' federal disability benefits for the support of his children. The power asserted by the state courts would interfere with the authority of the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs to apportion disability benefits. The United States has a substantial interest in maintaining federal control over the veterans' disability benefit program, which serves not only to provide for the veteran disabled in Federal military service, but also to support current military personnel needs.... Appellant is a totally disabled Vietnam veteran whose only income derives from disability benefits he receives from the Veterans Administration and the Social Security Administration...These benefits are based on the fact that appellant is a triple amputee who is blind in one eye." Conclusion: The decision of the Tennessee Court of Appeals should be reversed.
