Questions Answered.

r. F. H., Demarest, Ga, got a
medical discharge from the Army
after only IA days of active duty. He
wants to get some education under
the CT bill. He says he's aware
that if he can't prove his disability
to be service-connected he won't be
eligible for any CT bill benefits.
That's because he served only "a
days-not the minimum of 80 days
required for eligibility.
He asks, What do I have to do?"
Go to the regional or contact Office
of the Veterans Administration
nearest your home and file Form

certificate of eligibility for CT bill
schooling. After you've filed it with

Veterans Guide
By Moi. Thomos N. Mol

There's one thing a lot Of ex-
service people continually ask about.
If there should ever be bonus, will
benefits paid under the CT bill be
deducted?
Up until last December, the an
swer was Yes" Section 1905 of the
old GI bill definitely stated there
would be deductions. But the new
amendments repeal section 1905; so
there will be no deductions of money
you may receive or costs you may
incur under any provisions of the
CT bill.
But so far Congress has voted no
bonus. 1t may never vote one.
Many United States citizens went
to war before this country was at
tackled at Pearl Harbor They joined
up with the Canadians, British and
other Allies. Lots of them were air
force men. Most of them played a
big part in the war.
But when these men got their dis
charges, they found the gates of the
CT bill securely locked. Since they
hadn't worn an American uniform
they weren't eligible for any CT bill
benefits.
Now they are. They can get educa-
ton, loans and readjustment allow
ances, just like us other veterans
The only restricting conditions are
that they haven't applied for and
aren't receiving similar benefits
from other governments, and that
they're residents of the United
States at the time they apply.
A few weeks ago I said in this
column that the international Cor
respondence Schools had not YET
been approved for CT bill education
but that approval was expected any
day.
Now, ICS has been put on the ap-
proved list, and contract with the
Veterans Administration has beer
signed.
