The Veterans Honor Allowance is currently paid to national merit recipients, special mission personnel, and their families residing in Boseong-gun, and is provided to veterans who do not receive the Combat Honor Allowance. Applications can be made at the resident welfare department (Customized Welfare Division) of the town or township office of the applicant’s address.
