INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW.
Soldiers pensioned at less than $50 per
month, and wholly disabled for the perform
anCe OF manual labor by reason of

are pensioned, are C tilted to increase
Of pension to that amount per month, and If

regular aid and attendance of another per-
son, they may obtain pension at the rate OF

month for disability incurred in the service,
who are also suffering from other disability
of any nature, not due to vlcioui habits, may
obtain additional pension under the new
aw. This pension commences from the
date OF filing the claim and cannot exceed Sl2
per month. The new law is of special ad-
vantage to this class of pensioners. for the
reason that if they have a disability other
than that for which they are pcnslOned, they
may obtain additional relief from date of fiji
ing claim, and If, in the future, the disability
for which they wero originally pensloned
underline old law increases TO such an extent
as to entitlc them to more than Sl2 per
month, they may surrender their pension
under the new law and resume the pension
under the old law at such increased ratio as
nav be proportionate to the degree of dis
ability at that time. .
Pensioners at less than Sl3 per month, de-
string increase of pension, will find it to their
advantage to apply under both the old and
new law, for the reason that any increase up
TO Sl2 per month will date from the day the
claim is filed in the pension bureau. whereas
a claim for increase under the Old law, will
secure increased pension DUTY from the date
OF examination, which, on account of the
work In the pension bureau beng very much
delayed, is usually some months after the date
of filing the claim.
IN CASE OF NEW LAW PENSION
Any invalid pensioner under the new law
receiving less than Sl2 per month may obtain
increase of ppnSlOn whenever the Iianbll-
lty on account of which he is pensioned in
creaseS in severity TO a material extent. or he
may procure additional pension up to SIP per
month on account of any new or additional
which he has incurred since his
last medical examination or Which is not IN
cluued IN his present pension certificate.

served ninety days or more in the war OF the
rebellion, and was honorably discharged, may
obtain pension under the new law il now suf-
fering from any disability Of a permanent ma
ture, not due to vicious habits. This pen
sion will from date of filing tho
claim, and the rate of pension is from s. to
Sl2 per month, according to the degree of dis
ability for the performance of manual labor,
Title to the pension is solely dependent
upon a service of ninety days, an honorable
and the present existence of a
physical or mental, not due to
vicious habits, which causes a partial inabil-

hhood, equal to the degree of disability re-
quired to entitle a pensioner under the old
law to a pension of 81 per month or more. 1t

due to vicious habits, whether wound, injury
or disease, nor is the time and place of the
origin or incurrence Of the same in any way
material.
Title to pension under this law is no way |
upon the soldiers pecuniary cir
cumstances. The fact that he is able to per-
form skilled or professional labor TO such an

able support, or the fact that he has an in
sufficient for his support, has no bear
ng upon his title to pension under this law |
