Questions and AnswerS
@. When my twin brother entered
the service he designated me
beneficiary of his insurance. After
a hasty marriage he made, he in
formed me and my parents he had
not and had no intention of chang
ing the beneficiary. After his death
was notified by the insurance de-
partment that was his beneficiary.
His wife has made some sort of
claim for the insurance and has
held up settlement for Is months.
Can anyone but the insured change
the beneficiary or can the insurance
department decide who IS to get
it?-J. F. K, Palo Alto, Calf.
A. No one can change the benefi-
ciary but the insured. If you are
named the beneficiary in the policy,
then you are entitled to the insur-
ance and the Veterans administra-
tion says the wife or no one else
can hold it up 16 minutes. File your
claim for the insurance with the Vet
Grams administration.
