Q. Can I pay my National Service
Life Insurance premiums ut the
Veterans Administration contact of-
fice?
A. No. Contact offices nro not
authorized to accept remittances
for insurance premiums. Payments
must be mude to the branch office.
Q. Is a veteran of World War II
entitled to emergency ambulance
service to a VA hospital or other
government hospital in which VA
has beds allocated, if the occasion
arises?
A. Yes. When a veteran or his
representative contacts a field stu
tion requesting emergency ambu
lance service, the chief medical of-
ficer or his designate will get all
information possible about the case
and will grant authority, if war-
ranted.
Q. I was captured by the enemy
during World War II and was in
a prisoner of war camp for 15
months but my claim for disability
has been denied by Veterans Ad-
ministration. What can I do now
that the disability is getting worse?
A. Veterans Administration will
give special consideration to dis-
ability claims filed by veterans in-
terned in enemy prison camps. You
should get in touch with your near-
est VA office and have your case
reopened.
Q. I am going to school under the
G. 1. Bill. My eyes didn’t bother
me while I was in service, but they
bother me now when I try to do
very much studying. Will VA pay
for a reader to read some of my
textbook assignments to me?
A. No. Veterans with visual im-
pairment are eligible for reader ser-
vice only if they are enrolled under
the Vocational Rehabilitation Act
(Public Law 16).
Women veterans, who are entitled
to the same medical care as male
veterans, in addition may receive
treatment for nonservice-connected
disabilities from private physicians
and In civil hospitals, VA reports.
VA estimates the potential loaJ
of women war veterans in the Unit-
ed States at 350,000. As of Novem-
ber 30, VA had only 1,339 women
patients.
Veterans can speed up the ser-
vice they receive from the Veterans
Administration by taking extra
care to identify themselves in their
correspondence with that agency,
Jefferson E. Kidd. Director of Con-
tact and Administrative Services in
the VA's branch office at Dallas,
reports.
Kidd advised all veterans to give
their full name and the identifying
VA file number When writing to
the VA about their insurance, pen-
sion claims or other GI benefits.
"If the veteran does not have
his file number, he will get a more
picmpt reply from us if he gives
his date of birth, his service serial
number, his date of enlistment or
discharge from the service or some
other information to help us iden-
tify his file,” the VA official said.
"There are more thar 1,000 John
Smiths in the VA files of this area,
so you can see how important a is
that we have a man’s middle name
and as much other information as
possible to help us identify him.”
Since nothing is settled until it
is settled right, no matter how un-
limited power a man may have, un-
less he exercise it fairly'and justly
his actions will return to plague
him.—Frank A. Vanderlip.
