the amount my beneficiaries
would get under the policy be
reduced?
A-No. Disability payments
made under the rider in no way
decrease the amount paid to
beneficiaries of your CT insur-
ance policy.
OFF l am able to pay off my
CT home loan faster, by making
extra payments, would i have
to pay penalty?
A-No. You may make extra
payments on your mortgage at
any time, or pay off the entire
CT loan, without penalty. How
ever, an extra payment must be
at least as large as a regular one
months payment, or a flat $100,
whichever is less.
Q-I am in college under the
Korean CT Bill. My cutoff date
has passed, and if l want to
change my course now l know
it must be a normal progress
sion of the course / am now TAX
ing. I'm about to graduate from
law school and / want to take a
bar review course. Would that
be considered a normal progress
sion?
Alt would, since it leads ma
turally to fulfillment of your
goal of becoming a lawyer.
Q-I am World War II vet
eran and have never applied for
a CT home loan. How much more
time do / have in which to get
a loan?
A-World War II veterans
have until July 25, 1860, to apply
for a CT loan. The law allows
up to a year after that date to
complete the deal.
Q-I want to apply for dis
ability rider on my CT insur-
ance, to give me an income if
l am disabled so | can't work.
VIII the new increased coverage
of up to $100 a month cost me
twice as much as the old, which
allowed only $50 a month?
A-No. Your additional pay
ment for the new increased COW
erage would be small. Any VA
office will give you exact figures
for the extra payment on your
policy.
Q-I received my discharge
nearly three years ago, at which
time l was eligible for complete
separation. Instead, / reenlisted
Immediately. It's almost time for
my second discharge. I realize if
/ have to use my earlier dis
charge as the base date, my
three-year deadline for starting
CT training will be over when
come out. Can / use my second
discharge as the base from which
to figure my training deadline?
A-No. Since you were eligible
for complete separation at the
time of your earlier discharge,
you might have stayed out of
service, your three years in
which to start training must be
based on that separation-not
the one you are expecting.
Q-I am a Korea veteran, re-
ceiving compensation for a ser
vice-connected disability. Lately
my handicap has made it harder
for me to stay on the job and
do my work. How can l get help
from VA in training for a new
job?
A-Apply to VA for vocational
rehabilitation training. If VA
finds that you are in need of
training, you may enroll in
school, on-the-job or on-the- farm
training to prepare for a new
| career.
Q-I have just entered school
under the Korean CT Bill. How
long is the usual waiting period
before receipt of my first CT al
lowance check?
A-Normally, about two mon
tbs. Under the law, you may not
be paid until after a month of
| classroom work is completed,
| and the law allows VA 20 ad-
ditional days to process your
certificate of attendance and to
mail your check.
Q-Is there any deadline for
filing a claim for VA disability
compensation?
A-There is no deadline. A
veteran may apply at any time
However, if an eligible veteran
applies within year from the
date of his release from service
compensation may be back-dated
to the day following his release
from service. A veteran applying
after he has been out of service
a year may be paid only from
the date his application was
filed.
Q-I understand there is a new
