Questions and Answers

Q-I have been taking on-the-job
training under the Korean CT
Bill for one year, and my CT
allowance has been reduced
three times at four-month in
tervals. I'm planning to change
to a new job training course in
a different field. Will l get the
full rate of CT allowance paid
to beginners, or will | be paid
the reduced rate that I'm get
ting in my present course?
A-If you change to a new pro-
gram of GI On-the-jOb training,
you will receive the full allow
ance paid to veterans beginning
their courses. Your periodic
reductions will begin four
months after you start your
new course.
Q-I am planning to sell the home
| bought with a CT loan. Are
there any disadvantages in al
lowing the buyer to take over
my CT mortgage and continue
making payments on it?
A-The disadvantage is that under
present law you remain per-
sOnally liable for payment of
your Gil loan, even though the
buyer who takes over your
mortgage agrees to make the
payments. You will be relieved
Of liability if the buyer pays all
cash or gets his own loan.
Q-I hold a special $4,000 Korean
CT term insurance policy. May
l convert this to permanent in
sGrance? l am not disabled.
A-NO. Under the law, special KOr.
can GIL term Insurance for the
nOn-disabled may not be con-
Verted to permanent forms of
insurance. Seryic e-disabled
Korean veterans, however, do
have the right to obtain con-
Vertible term policies. They al
so may take out permanent
plans of insurance from the be-
ginning IL they wish.
al want to appeal VAS decision
regarding my application for
disability compensation. Where
do l send my appeal-to my
Regional Office or to the VA
Board of Veterans Appeals in
