This research is dedicated for better understanding of the current
compensation system for strictly disabled Patriots and Veterans. Typically
Patriots & Veterans Affairs are conducting various government compensation for
their kindness and contribution and dedication to save the country. On this basis
be enhanced patriotic spirit and national identity, and in this we find the value
of Patriots & Veterans Affairs as a social institut.
However, the status of the compensation for the first class of strictly
disabled Patriots & Veterans of Republic of Korea is not corresponds with the
value of Patriots & Veterans Affairs and it is a one of actual problems in
Korean society. Currently, the group of the first class of strictly disabled
Patriots & Veterans introduce to a relatively small group. Of these, 26% is the
case seriously, injured arm or leg and other body parts, diseases of the spine
cord by 24%, bilateral blindness by 22%, mental disorders by 13%, and other
complex reasons by15%.
If we consider a feature of life of the first class of strictly disabled Patriots
& Veterans, we can agree with the opinion that these existing laws on
compensation for them are irrational and do not really help them. Especially we
could not understand how it is possible, which the compensation for the first
class of strictly disabled Patriots & Veterans is lower than for workers\'
compensation as a social welfare. In addition, various additional supports for
Patriots & Veterans on educations, on tours, on sanatoriums and on discounts
for cultual life are all unusable to the first class of strictly disabled Patriots &
Veteran, so its should be changed so that they can actually use.
