Decision in Mental Case Gives Avon Man Back Pay
Washington June 23 The veteran Bureau has rendered an important decision in the case of Joseph J Ball Avon Man. Ball was confined in an insane asylum at Sheridan Wy and compensation was denied on the ground that he was mentally deficient when drafted. He served 18 months in the French theater and was later found insane. The department held mental deficiency is a disability but not compensable. The case drew attention from Congressman Tod A Lyons who appealed twice and then took the matter to Congress. The department reversed its ruling and awarded Ball 70 dollars a month and about 1300 a year. If the decision stands it may set a precedent affecting hundreds or thousands of similar cases.
