Sec.  13.61  Payment to the chief officer of institution.

    The Veterans Service Center Manager may authorize the payment of all 
or part of the pension, compensation or emergency officers' retirement 
pay payable in behalf of a veteran rated incompetent by the Department 
of Veterans Affairs to the chief officer of the institution wherein the 
veteran is being furnished hospital treatment or institutional, nursing 
or domiciliary care, for the veteran's use and benefit, when the 
Veterans Service Center Manager has determined such payment (called an 
institutional award) will adequately provide for the needs of the 
veteran and obviate need for appointment of another type of fiduciary.
