The veteran has until the maximum deadline date to complete a new loan when entitlement is restored, July 25, 1987 for WWII veterans and January 31, 1975 for Korean veterans. Eligibility expires 10 years from discharge plus one year for each three months of wartime service. The action follows rising condemnation proceedings due to interstate road expansion.
