Minister vows to further eliminate blind spots of compensation for veterans' families

Veterans Minister Kwon Oh-eul announced plans to address gaps in compensation for surviving family members of war veterans and descendants of independence activists. During his first anniversary in office, Kwon highlighted new measures including a subsidy program for elderly surviving spouses of deceased war veterans, benefiting around 17,000 individuals. The ministry also expanded eligibility for descendants of independence activists, allowing them to receive compensation regardless of when their ancestors died. These changes will take effect in 2027. Additionally, Kwon emphasized South Korea's growing capability in veteran healthcare by hosting the 2029 Invictus Games in Daejeon, marking the first time an Asian city hosts the event.
