Fees for pension claim prosecutions under old law

The fee for prosecuting an original pension claim is 25 dollars under the old law and 10 dollars for an increase of the pensioned disability. Attorneys' fees for prosecuting all claims under this law cannot exceed 10 dollars per case.

Rights Under Both Laws For Pension Entitlements

Persons already receiving pensions under the old law or with pending claims may apply for and receive under the new law. A person entitled under both laws may file for both pensions simultaneously and take the one that offers greatest advantage, or switch after proving rights to the other. No one may draw both pensions for the same period.
