Not sure how it's handled in Japan but I know this is how it works in Germany and France, for both WW1 and WW2.

That sounds interesting, do you have a source for that where I can read more by any chance?

Social compensation benefits for war victims

War victims are entitled to social compensation benefits if their health was affected by events in connection with one of the two world wars.

The number of war victims and their surviving dependants is declining sharply due to demographic factors. However, there may still be people in the future who suffer from the effects of the world wars. This may be the case, for example, with mines, grenades or bombs that have not yet been discovered or rendered harmless - so-called unexploded ordnance. People who suffer damage to their health as a result of unexploded ordnance are entitled to social compensation benefits.

I couldn't really find much else about the way it's handled locally, it's thankfully not really a common thing. I first heard about it in some TV documentary.
