Important Points in Filing a
Pension Claim

In filing a claim for a service-con
nected disability pension, Veterans
administration Form 526 is the proper
form to use. This form may be filed
at any time after the veterans dis
lcharge. If he is discharged form the
service to a Veterans administration
facility, the effective date of his pen
sion will be the date following his
discharge. If a veteran is not dis
charged for his disability but later
files an application for pension, it is
likely that the effective date of the
payment will be the date of applica
ton.
If the veteran believes that he has
disability incurred in or aggravated
by service, he should file a pension
claim. The determination as to wheth
er his disability is service-connected
is left to the Veterans administra
ton.
In making application for pension
where the circumstances warrant, il
is not necessary that copy of the
original of the veterans discharge be
attached. However, he should attach
certified copies Of public records of
his marriage license, birth records of
his children or his own birth record
if he wishes to establish proof of de.
pendent parents.
If he is at any time hospitalized at
q Veterans hospital and they do not
have proof of his dependents, his pen

Loan Provisions

Loan PROVISIONS
Under the CT Bill of Rights, certain
loan benefits are provided.
Qualifying veterans will be interest
ed in the scope and principal require
ments necessary to avail themselve
of the loan provisions of the CT Bill
of Rights.
The law does not guarantee tina
the veteran will get a loan. He mus
first make arrangements for a loar
with a commercial lending agency
such as bank, mortgage house OF
savings and loan association. Under
certain circumstances the Veterans
administration may guarantee part OF
the loan This guarantee is to aid the
veteran in obtaining the loan from a
commercial lending agency.
Those eligible for loan guarantees,
Veterans who serve between Septem-
Der 16, 1910, and the termination of
the present war, who receive a dis
charge other than dishonorable and
who have had at least 80 days service.
Those veterans who are discharged
because of a service incurred disabil-
ity need not have the 80 days service

l. Homes
(a) Purchase of residential property
OBJ Repairs, alterations or improve
ments on homes, payment of delin-
quent Indebtedness. taxes or special
assessments on residential property

eran has ability and experience and
is engaged in pursuit which is rea-
sonably certain of success.
Guarantee. The government may
guarantee up to one-half of the loan
the veteran makes, but may not guar.
antee more than $4,000 of the loan
If the veteran borrows $780, the gov
eminent may guarantee $3.50 of the
loan If he borrows $4,000, the gov
eminent may guarantee $4,000 of the
loan but if the veteran borrows $4,000.
the government still guarantees only

the Federal Housing administration
will guarantee under its normal pro-
cedure, 80 per cent of the veterans
loan for the construction or purchase
Of a home, the Veterans administra-
ton will guarantee the other 20 per
cent. Similarly, if any other federal
agency will guarantee so per cent or
more of the veterans loan for home,
business, or farm purposes, the Veter
ans administration will guarantee the |
20 per cent up to $4,000.
The Veterans administration will pay
the interest on its guaranteed portion
Of the loan for the first year, but the
interest rate on the loan guaranteed
BY the Veterans administration must
lot exceed four per cent and the loan
must be payable in not more than 20
years.
Be sure the title of the property
purchased is clear.
Where to make loan. No matter
what kind of guarantee the veteran
s going to try for, he should begin
he loan process with an individual or
commercial lending agency such as
mortgage company, bank or savings
md loan association. When the lend
ng company and the veteran have
lgreed upon a loan, the veteran
hould then make a joint application
o the appropriate federal agency for
guarantee of the loan. The lending
ompany will know the proper agency
o make application.
