III. B., St. Omar, Ind.-As general rule
the Pension Bureau has much higher
regard for the reports of Boards of Examin-
ing Surgeons than for the evidence of
other physicians rs TO the disablement of q
pension claimant.
ID. F., Oshkosh, Wis-The act OF March
q, 1886, which provides substantially that
invalid pension granted under the act of
June y, 1890, shall commence from the
date of filing OF the first application, has
reference only to claims for original pen
sion under the act, the claimant being
pens'cned under the general law or not in
receipt of any pension. Your statement is
not sufficiently clear to admit of a proper
answer as To other points you raise
j. d., Lockport, n. Y.-The new order of
the Commissioner of Pensions provides
that claims for -ncrease of pension will not
be considered within II months after a
previous rejection or allowance.
j. A, s., CavendiSh, Nt.-The recent
order Of Commissioner Evans with refer
ence TO claims for increase of pension ap-
plies TO all such claims on file. All evi-
dence on file in pension case in the
Pension Bureau is considered in so far as
it may be pertinent To a claim for increase
on disability not covered by the pension
certificate. There is no rating between
S11 and S2l except that of a Captain for
total disability, 500. because the laws
provide none. 1t is hardly likely, con-
siGering the present disposition of the
Pension Bureau, that there will be any
increase of the S17 pensioners to the S24
grade by ruling.
j. W. H., Polo, o. T.-H a claim for in
valid pension under the act of June 81,
1890, has been rejected on the ground of no
pensionable degree of disability as the act
of 1890 is construed, the surest way to
have it re opened is to file new applica-
ton, which will secure the issuance of
