[2025-12-19]Expanding Veterans’ Benefits and Special Compensation for Sacrifice
The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs plans to expand compensation to up to two generations of independence activists’ descendants and double the number of contracted medical institutions for elderly veterans by 2030.
Key initiatives include spousal support for elderly veterans, enhanced recognition for democracy activists, and improved benefits for discharged military personnel, along with AI-based innovations in veterans’ benefit processing.
The ministry also aims to repatriate remains of overseas independence activists, resume recovery of pro-Japanese assets, promote veterans’ culture, and host the 2029 Invictus Games in Daejeon.
