koreu Veterans
Are Advised On
Dental reotment

Korean veterans (those having
service in the Armed Forces be-
tween June 26, 1850. and January
81. 1850. have only one year from
separation to file for dental treat
ment.
George C. Warlick of the Cas-
tonia v terra n S Administration
Office said today a number of vet
Grams have delayed to file and
have been denied treatment, as
the law requires application be
filed no later than a year from
release from service. There are a
few conditions under which the
VA may accept an application
more than year from separation.
One condition is where veteran
is receiving compensation from the
VA for dental injury incurred in
service. Another is where veteran
is drawing compensation for some
condition and medical opinion is
that the dental condition requir-
ing treatment is adversely affect
ing the service-connected condi-
ton. Also, former prisoners of war
constitute separate group en-
titled to special consideration, Mr..
Warlick said. Normally. a condi-
ton may be treated only once at
VA expense, the Gastonia official
added.
It was stated quite few veter-
ans have been under the impress
sion they might file for treatment
at any time and Mr.. Warlick's
statement clarifies the time ele-
ment.

not be solved through govern
