Mr. Winchester. District Officer of North Carolina Veterans Com mission, Morgan ton, stated many veterans of World War II or Kor ean conflict have died without having a service connected disabi lity resulting from either period of war, thus their widow and/or children have been denied Vet erans Administration benefits. PL 86-211 takes' effect July 1, I860; which removes the requirement that a service connected disability must be established. Therefore, those widows and/or children should contact the service officer as soon as convenient, and have their claim reconsidered in order that payment may be set up before July 1, In some cases the widow may have remarried, however the vet eran's children may still qualify, thus application may be filed for the children by their custodian. Contact the local service officer or this office for having claim re consldered. CANDIDATE Harria County, Texas ?
