War veterans urged to file GI disability claims by August first
World War II veterans seeking waiver of premiums on National Service Life Insurance must file claims by August 1 if over a year old. Ashley Westmoreland of the Lincoln Nebraska VA regional office cautions that approved claims could yield retroactive refunds to veterans who were entitled to a waiver but continued premium payments. Eligible periods begin August 1 1941 with retroactive claims accepted on or before August 1 1947. Beneficiaries may also claim waiver if the veteran died during total disability under the same deadline.
