Official Clarifies Vets' Requirements For Physical Exams
J. W. Thornton of the Veterans Administration today clarified that medical examinations at government expense apply only to veterans needing hospitalization or domiciliary care. The veteran first completes an application for hospital treatment, then VA contact personnel or a designated fee-base physician conduct the exam. If hospital need is shown, the VA pays hospital expenses under existing regulations. VA now conducts exams for pension, life insurance renewal, or emergency treatment purposes.
