under the law pensioners of

ugh the medium of annual ques-
tionnaireS which are distributed

Later, if the person receiving
the pension fails to notify VA
promptly of an increase which
raises his annual income above
the statory limit, payments will
be Discontinued retroactively to

ates an overpayment according
to the agency, and is subject to

of such an increase, payments
will be discontinued as of the
date the last payment was made
and no over-paymcnt will re-
