(a) The Secretary* must pay a monthly allowance to a child* of a Vietnam veteran* for disability the child has because of spina bifida.

(2) The Secretary must set three disability levels for this purpose. (3) The monthly amounts are $200 for the lowest level, $700 for the middle level, and $1,200 for the highest level. Section 5312 may adjust those amounts.
