Veterans bureau allows claims for family allowances retroactive
A new ruling enables consideration of family allowance claims for veterans' relatives previously deemed unallowable. The retroactive 107 law extended eligibility to those who stood loco parentis to a service member, such as an aunt, even if the claim was filed after discharge. The Comptroller General notes that pre-discharge filing rules do not bar retroactive rights created by later law.
