PENSI0N-Grown men and wo-
men may receive pensions as chill
dren' of deceased war veterans,
but only if they became mentally
or physically incapable of self
support before. reaching age Is
and have never been married.
Leon Fields, manager OF the ".
A. Regional Office in Wilmington,
Delaware, explained the ruling to-
day because there are instances of
persons applying who do not quail
ify.
Ordinarily, he said, pension pay
ments to children of deceased vet
GRAMS cease when they reach Is,
or earlier if they marry. But when
they are incapable of self-support
before IS. the payments continue
until they improve enough to sup
/ port themselves.
Many of these so-called children
are victims of ineurable illness
who live to an old age and con-
tinue TO draw pensions. Recent
newspaper accounts of Civil War
children" still on the pension
rolls have led some elderly per-
sons to inquire if they could get
a V. A. pension, Mr.. Fields said.
