Advice To Veterans
On Pension Plans

What is considered Income" in
applying for pension under the new
law which goes into effect July 1,
1860? Leon Fields, manager of the
Wilmington Regional Office of the
Veterans Administration gave the
following guide today since the
amount of annual income deter
mines the size of the pension pay
ment or whether or not there will
be any pension payment at all.
All wages, salaries, profits, in
terest, dividends are considered in
come So are retirement pensions,
annuities and Social Security pay
ments.
In fact, all money received must
be counted as income except these
eight classifications:
1. The compensation or pension
payments received from the VA
2. Donations from private or pub
lie relief or welfare sources.
3. Government life insurance pay
ments and payments of service
mems indemnity.
4. Payments by the Armed Forces
of the sixth months death gratuity
5. Social Security lump sum death
payments.
g. Payments from public or pri-
vate retirement, annuity or endow-
ment plans up to the amount equal
to the money contributed or paid
in by the veteran or dependent in
order to become eligible for the
plan. After contributions have been
recovered all of the pension or an
nuity is counted as income.
z. Proceeds of fire insurance pol
icies.
y, There is an additional exception
for the widow or children of de-
ceased veteran:
s. The money expended for the
burial of the veteran as well as
any money expended to pay off his
just debts may be deducted from in
come reports.
Under the new pension system,
which goes into effect July 1, 1860,
veterans or dependents can not
waive any part or all of a pension,
annuity or endowment in order to
qualify for VA pension payments
under the income limitations.
Full information on any phase of
the pension program may be OBJ
tanned at the nearest VA office

QUESTION AND ANSWERS

Q-In the last few years VA has
been paying me my CT insur-
ance dividends in cash. I have
one coming up soon, and under
stand l can leave it with VA as
credit, to pay premiums in
case / should miss one. Will
you explain how this works?
dividends left with VA as a
credit draw interest and will be
used by VA to pay one monthly
premium at a time in case you
should fail to make your prem
ium payment before the end of
the 31-day grace period. You
must, of course, have earned
dividend money in your account
before this can be done.
Ill have a service-connected dis
ability. Can my family doctor
treat my disability and send his
bill to the VA?
Aft he has prior approval from
the VA, yes. Under law, that is
necessary before he may treat
your service-connected condi-
tion at Government expense.
IL am now receiving pension
from the VA, and have a right
to switch to the new system of
payments which starts July L.
If l decide I want to switch
over, do l have to make the
change before July /?
No. You may make the change
at any time However, once you
make it, your decision is final.
You can't change back. So be
sure you're right. See your
nearest VA Office if you need
help.
II understand that there have
been some changes in the in

explain the changes to me,
please?
present law a veteran
who has more than 400 dollars
annual income and no depend
ents cannot qualify for PEN
sion. If he is married or has a
minor child, his income cannot
be more than 2700 dollars. The
new pension law, effective July
l, increases the amount of in
some a veteran can have, and
still collect pension. A veter-
an with no dependents is allow

and up to 5000 dollars if he has

Loose Housing
For Dairy Cattle

A leaflet on loose housing for
dairy cattle. has just been released
from the University of Delaware,
says county agent George Vapaa.
Four basic plans for loose hous-
ing arrangements are explained and
illustrated
The fact sheet, called Loose
Housing, emphasized the import
ance of planning and the rules to
follow when you are plannings, he
says. The basic requirements for
the loafing barn, the paved area
and the milking parlor are given
and illustrated.
Here are some handy tips from
the fact sheet:
Plan to mechanic concentrate
and roughage feeding; plan to
clean the barnyard and bedding
areas mechanically; go over plans
with your local plant fieldman and

approval before starting construc-
ton. The Washington, D. G. mar
