- concluding that, when read in conjunction with pertinent regulations such as 38 CFR section 13.71, 38 USC section 5301(a)(1) “does not prohibit direct payments of [veterans’] benefits to a state hospital for ongoing veteran patient care” (emphases added)
- the exemption “protects the veteran recipient of the benefits and affords security for his or her family”
- payment of veterans’ benefits to a state hospital for the costs of care “prevents the somewhat perverse result of taxpayers picking up the bill twice for the care of an incompetent veteran”(quotation marks omitted)
