Unless proof of relationship is
received toy the Veterans Admin -
tot ration before May 1, 1950, in
creased compensation payments
because at dependents under.
Public Law 339 cannot be made}
retroactive for these veterans gi
ven extra time to obtain such
proof.
The law, which became effec
tive December 1, 1949, now "al
lows an additional dependency
allowance for veterans with dis
ability ratings of 50 to 60 per
cent. Previoulsy, only those rated
. GO percent or more were entitled
to dependency allowance.
The May 1 deadline applies to
those veterans whose records on
file with the VA on December i,>
1949, indicated the exigence of
dependents. Those veterans were
given five months in which to
obtain acceptable proof of de
pendency and submit to the VA
so that the Increase. would be ef
fective as of December 1, 1949,
Instead of the date the proof is
received b ythe VA.
AM other veterans with ratings
of at least 50 percent, but whose
records contained no evidence of
dependents, also were sent a
questionnaire to be completed
and returned with the proof If
dependents exist. However, the
effective date of the Increase in
those cases will only bp the date
acceptable proof is received by
the VA. . ; - .
P. L. Llndley, chief of the adju
dication division of the North
Carolina VA Regional . Office,
warned that many eligible veter
ans as yet b'ave not returned the
questionnaire nor submitted the
required proof of record.
Should eligible veterans be ex
perienclng difficulty in obtaining
documents to prove legal marri
ages, births, adoptions, etc.,
Lindley advised them to call at
their nearest VA office where as
sistance can be obtained from
VA Ccontact Representatives.
There, too, they can be advised If
the declarations and documents
obtained are acceptable accord
ing to the applicable laws and
are all that will be needed to ef
fect the increase without further
delay.

the veterans going to schools be
low the college level under the GI
Bill are studying farming ? ei
ther in the classroom alone or in
institutional on -farm training
courses './hich combine school
studies with actual experience on
the -farm.
.Of all veterans enrcffied in col
legw ffrrtF universities under the
GI Bill, only three percent are
taking agricultural courses.
Vetearns Administration dis
closed these proportions in a
course breakown of veterans' en
1 rollment under the GI 'Bill on
I November 1, 1919. , The. break
: down compares 1949 figures with
those of December 1, 1948, and
1 December 1, 1947.
On November 1, 1949, teh study
revealed 302,000 veterans were
studying farming under the GI

college-level schools, 72,000 were
studying farm marragement ; 5,
000, animal husbandry; 3,000,
dairy husbandry; 2,000, horticul
ture; 1,300, poultry husbandry,
and 173, agronomy and soils.
The remaining 217,000 were ta
king a variety ?! other types of
agricultural courses.
Largely because of tl\e increas
ing popularity of institutional on
farm training, the number of vet
erans studying agriculture in
schools '?below college has risen
considerably. On December 1,
later it rose to 271,000, and In 1949
it reached 302,000.
College training in agriculture,
on the other hand, has declined
over the three years. In 1947, the
total was 35,000; in 1948 it had
dropped to. 28,000, and in 1949 it
was 23,000.
Q. ? Last year I was awarded
compensation from VA, but I
renounced my payments. If I de
cide that I would like to receive
compensation payments at some
future date, will they be resum
ed!
A. ? Compensation will be re
sumed if the service-connected
condition is shown by medical ev
idence to exist to a compensable
degree at the time you file a new
application for such benefits.
Compensation, if approved, will
not be made retroactive.
