It used to be tough for an ex-
serviceman who had lost an arm or
a leg to get repairs on his artificial
limb.
He first had to go to his regional
VA Office, where his limb would be
examined to find out whether 1t
really needed repairs.
If the VA decided it did, the vet
eran was given travel money to visit
a designated limb shop which may
be many miles away. When he got
there he got an estimate on the
work to be done, perhaps only a
S. job.
After getting the estimate the
veteran had to go back to his re-
gional Office (not just any regional
office, but the one which had his
records and get permission to have
the work done. If the regional Office
Office was 100 miles away from his
home, he still had to 60 there.
That done, he returned to the
limb shop and got his limb repaired.
In some cases, when the limb was
badly damaged, this whole game
could be played through the mails.
But it took lots of time.
You can see why many veterans
took their damaged limbs to the
nearest limb shop and paid the bill
themselves.
After World War II the VA de-
cided something ought to be done,
and it did it.
A year ago last June every vet
eran wearing prosthetic appliance
was told to apply for a card called
the prosthetic service card. 1t en-
titled every limb wearer in need of
repairs to get up to $35 free work
at any limb shop in the country.
If veteran is travelling from New
York to Spokane and damages his
limb he walks into the nearest limb
shop, produces his service card and
gets the work done on the spot. The
limb shop sends the bill to the VA
and that's that.
If, two weeks later in Spokane,
his leg goes on the bum again, he
does exactly the same thing. He gets
the repairs done free Cup to $3.50.
I'm told that $35 more than covers
all normal repairs to artificial
limbs. The amputee can get as many
repairs as necessary.
But shooting the way for repair
work is only one of several large
