Demands for Service to Disabled
Veterans Last Year Cost
Nearly $3,000,000.
Expenditure of $2,930,223.86 for
services to disabled veterans, and of
$507,832.30 for service to men of the
Regular Army- and Navy, were out
standing details of the Red Cross ap
propriations for the past year's activ
ities, and are cited by Chairman John
Barton Payne as the continuing im
portance of this phase of the organi
zation's responsibilities nine years
after the end of the war.
Of the total expended for disabled
veterans, the National Organization
contributed $1,161,223.86, and the local
Red Cross Chapters $1,769,000. The
service to men ef the regular forces
was shared by the National Organi
zation with an appropriation of $307,
S32.30, and by the local Chapters with
$200,000.
During the year the Red Cross as
a whole contributed materially to the
success of the Government efforts to
have every veteran re-iustate or con
vert his war-time insurance before
the final time limit expired. Chap
ters worked in cooperation with local
veterans’ bodies to assist former serv
ice men with their insurance papers,
and the application routine, many
Chapters keeping open headquarters
up to the expiration of the final
moment at midnight.
Under local Chapters of the Red
Cross, assistance to ex-service men
in filing claims for disability and ad
justed compensation, securing hospital
care for disabled veterans, prepara
tion of social histories for use in
treatment of men in government hos
pitals, assistance in securing proper
guardians for veterans adjudged in
competent to administer their affairs,
rendering reports on ncme conditions
of service men applying for discharge
because of dependency, and many
other forms of aid are a part of the
Red Cross duty to these men.
An interesting detail reveals the
fact that prosecution of ex-service
men’s claims is becoming increasingly
difficult as they grow more involved
with each year that passes since the
war. The number of death claims is
growing constantly, in addition to the
fact that thc-re is a steady increase
in the number of claims referred to
various Lranches of ihe Red Cross
concerned with assistance to veterans,
for aid in bringing them to a close.
During the past year, National
Headquarters estimated that the Red
Cross assisted veterans and service
men with cases involving total awards
of $558,6S1, for disability and death
compensation, revival of insurance,
adjusted compensation, pensions,
medical and burial reimbursements,
etc.
Red Cross representatives are on
duty with the Army and Navy both
in home and foreign garrisons, and
contact is maintained in the hospitals
and other centers where assistance to
these men and women may be needed.
Such Red Cross service, it is empha
sized, covers only the fields where
regular governmental provisions do
not apply, and is designed to sup
plement these benefits of the Govern
ment.
It was emphasized that this par
ticular activity of the Red Cross Is
one of the strongest appeals for the
increased membership, which will be
asked of the country during the
annual enrollment from November 11
to 24.
