Records Checked
To Determine Aid
For Vets With IB
Review Being: Conduct
ed Under Public
Law 241
Veterans Administration is review
ing its records to determine whether
certain living veterans or dependents
of certain deceased veterans may be
entitled to compensation for active
nonpulmonary tuberculosis that devel
oped within three years after separa
tion from active service.
VA said the review is being con
ducted under Public Law 241, 83rd
Congress, enacted August 8, 1953.
This law provides that if certain
veterans develop active nonpulmonary
TB to a compensable degree within
three years from separation from ac
tive wartime service, it may be pre
sumed to have been incurred in ser
vice providing there is no affirmative j
evidence to the contrary.
The law also requires at least 90 :
l days of active war-time service and a 1
■'sljjgcharge or separation under other
Mnan dishonorable conditions.
, Prior to the passage of this law,
only pulmonary (lung) TB could be j
presumed to be service-connected for
certain veterans if it developed within
three years after sparateion from war
time service. The new law adds all
other types of TB.
Living and deceased veterans cov
ered by the new law fall into the fol
lowing four groups:
1. Those with service since June 21,
1950, the start of the Korean hostili
ties—the active nonpulmonary TB
must have developed in these cases
within 3 years from separation or 3
years from the date the Korean emer
■gency is declared ended, whichever is
earlier.
2. Those witl) service which began
prior to January 1,1947 and which ex
tended after that date—within three
years from date of discharge or July
25, 1947, whichever is the earlier.
3. Those with service during World
"War Two, up to December 31, 1946 —
-within 3 years from separation.
4. Those with service in the Span
ish-American War, the Philippine In
surrection and the Boxer Rebellion
-with active participation therein —
■within 3 years from separation.
World War One veterans are not
included under the new law because
they already are covered under anoth
er law which has been on the statute
books for many years.
As u enter into the spirit of the
[ t Christmas occasion, we hope you
will take just a moment to accept
our best wishes for the Season.
It’s been a pleasure to serve you
and we invite your
! f
■ continued friendships.

From 1924 through 1950 over

mile of road because the states di
