CLUB MEETING
Mrs. A. L. Flowers was hos-
vet's News-
questions and answers
Q.—We have a neighbor, a
widow of a World Warr II vet-
eran, who formerly was not
eligible for pension. She will
be, under the new pension law.
We'd like to help her. What
points in the new law should
we emphasize to her?
A.—To qualify for pension,
widows and orphans of World
War II and Korea veterans for-
merly were required to show
that the veteran at time of
death had some service-con-
nected disability. This is not
necessary, under the new law,
which becomes effective July 1.
To be eligible, under the new
law, your neighbor need only
show that her veteran husband
was in active service 90 days or
more and was discharged un-
der other than dishonorable
conditions, and that her income
does not exceed legal limits.
Q.—Mostly when you hear
about veterans, it's about men.
Aren't women veterans also
eligible for the benefits that VA
administers?
A.—Yes. Women veterans are
eligible for the same benefits
and under the same conditions
as men. There is no differ-
ence as to eligibility in the law.
Q.—Is it possible to get a re-
placement for a lost discharge?
A.—Yes. Write to: Depart-
ment of Defense, Military Per-
sonnel Records Center, 9700 Page
Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo. Give
them your branch of service and
tell them you want a Certificate
in Lieu of Discharge.
