persons on the compensation rolls

persons on the compensation rolls Sec. 2316. (a) Any person who is receiving compensation under public laws administered by the Veterans’ Administration on the day before the effective date of this Act at a rate equal to or less than that to which he would be entitled under the provisions of this Act shall, except where there was fraud, clear and unmistakable error as to conclusions of fact or law, or misrepresentation of material facts, be paid compensation under this Act beginning with the effective date of this Act. (b) Any person who is receiving compensation on the day before the effective date of this Act under the laws in effect on that day and who is not entitled to compensation under this Act or who is entitled to compensation at a higher rate under such laws than that to which he would be entitled under this Act, shall, except where there was fraud, clear and unmistakable error as to conclusion of fact or law, or misrepresentation of material facts, continue to be paid the rate of compensation payable on the day before the effective date of this Act, so long as the conditions warranting such payment under those laws continue. In the event there is a change in such conditions, the entitle-71 Stat. 175ment thereafter of such person to compensation will be determined, except as to service-connection, without regard to the laws repealed by this Act. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to those claims within the purview of section 2311 in which it is determined on or after the effective date of this Act that compensation is payable for the day before the effective date of this Act.
