Q-I am planning to sell my

should I apply to VA for release
from liability to the Govern

sales contract?

for release from liability before
you sign the contract. In that
way, you will know whether the
buyer is eligible to assume your
liability before you commit your
self to SELL

are eligible only for Indemnity
Compensation payments under
the new Survivors Benefits Act.

schooling under the War Orphans

factory?
Ale may, if he can show
VA that the lack of progress was
not due to his own misconduct,
neglect or lack of application -

course prior to that time.
Q-I am a World War II vet
eran, and | understand | must
apply for a CT loan by July 25,
1858. Must l actually obtain the
money for the loan by that date?
A-No. Your lender at least
must have agreed to make the
loan, and must have requested
VAS approved by July Is, 1858.
The law gives you up to an ad-
ditional year to close the deal.
Q-I am Korean veteran.
Would l be permitted to study
dressmaking in France under the
Korean CT Bill?

Q-I am a disabled Korea vet
eran and l have received voca-
tional rehabilitation training
under Public Law 1894. Would l
now be eligible for further
training under the Korean CT

amount of vocational rehabilita-
ton training received from 48
months. If there is a balance left
over, that is the amount of
training to which you might be
entitled under the Korean CT
Bill.
Q-Am l supposed to notify
my CT insurance beneficiaries if
/ want to make a change in my
beneficiary list?
A-No. You need merely
notify VA of your new list of
beneficiaries. You need not
notify the beneficiaries them
selves.
