I In February, 1947, the VA orig
inally ruled that a female veteran
could receive increased GI Bill sub
sistence allowance on account of a
child where her husband was al
ready receiving an increased allow
ance for the same child.
I Through interpretation of pre
vious status, it was held that the
woman veteran was eligible for an
increased allowance since she had
a dependent. The sam eprovision is
now incorporated into current regu
lations.

to come by the nearest branch of
