DISABLED VETERANS MUST
SUBMIT DEPENDENCY PROOF
Disabled veterans receiving com
pensation for disabilities rated at
60 per cent or more are urged by
the Veterans Administration to
submit proof of dependency to the
VA immediately in order to quali
fy for higher disability pay.
Legislation passed by the last
Congress authorized the VA to pay
additional allowances to seriously
disabled veterans who have wives,
children or parents dependent up
on them for support. The increase
became effective September 1 and
will be included in VA disability
checks paid on October 1.
The VA advised eligible veterans
that proof of dependency must be
filed with the Territorial VA re
gional office before the pay boost
can be granted.
Proof of dependency must be in
the form of certified copies of mar
riage certificates, birth or baptis
mal records of dependent children,
and similar evidence showing do
| pendency of parents,
j In the absence of certified copies
I of public records, the VA said it
I would take other legally accept
able evidence.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
! Q. What is the difference be
j tween a “term" insurance policy
and a “converted" insurance pol
icy as far as my National Service
Life Insurance is concerned?
| A. In brief, your term policy is
i “temporary” insurance, while a
i converted G.I. policy is a "perman
ent" insurance plan. The protec
tion is the same in event of death
but converted insurance accrues
cash, loan and paid-up insurance
values, whereas term insurance
does not.
