funny thing followed. TWAS impos-

advisable to file an application in the cas-,
referred to- The test is as to the menta
or physical ability of the permanently
helpless" child to earn living.
A. 2. A, Marion, Iowa-The attorney
of record in a claim for the continuance OF
pension to a permanently helpless" child
beyond the age of f6 is entitled TO a fee OF
$40 on the allowance thereof. There be
ing no widow or brother or sister under
16, the rate of pension to such child would
be So and 50 additional if the pension
title is established under the general law
otherwise, IS and 50 additional.
]. T., SaulSberry. Ky.-lf your claim
for increase under the general law on dis
ability not covered by your general law
certificate Is allowed, the additional rating
would be made to commence from the date
of filing of such claim and not from the
date of filing of your original claim under
the general law. If the claim is rejected
you have the right to file additional evil
dence, which the Pension Bureau may or
may not consider sufficient to warrant the
re-opening of the claim. You also have
the right TO appeal to the Secretary of the
Interior.
ID. G., Togus, Me-Al pensions under
the general law claimed on since June 30,
1880, commence from the date of filing
the application. If the disability you are
application filed in 1888, your rating there
on will commence from that time. 1t is
impossible to say how long it will be be-
fore the special examination in your case
will be completed. Cases are frequently
under special examination for several
years. A year is not considered over
long.
J. NJ. Dawson.-All pension claimed on
under the act of June %. 1890. commences
from date of filing of the application I'M
der that act.
J. B. r., Riceville, .Me-If your evil
dence is all in, you ought TO hear from
your case within six months after medical
examination.
Mrs. II. L. H., Burchardville, Pa.-If
you think evidence filed in your husbands
pension claim has been overlooked. or that
the claim has been mixed up with some
other of a similar name, it would be well
TO have your attorney or the member of
Congress of your district examine the pa
pers of your case at the Pension Bureau.
J. H. P, Troy, n. Y.-The $50 rate for
total disability of the hand could not be
obtained unless it is a fact and can be
proven that the hand is useless for all
practical purposes. As the disability in
your case seems to be practically confined
TO the hand, it may be worth your while
to apply for increase, rs the rating you
now receive recognizes that your disability
is equivalent to the loss of hand.
