Here are the answers to these and other questions frequently asked by veterans: Is a veteran of World War II entitled to emergency ambulance serivce to a VA hospital or other government hospital in which VA has been allocated, if the oc¬ casion arises? . Yes. When a veteran or his representative contacts a field station requesting emergency ambulance service, the chief medical officer or his designate will get all information possi- ble about the case and will grant authority if warranted. I was captured by the enemy during World War II and was in a prisoner of war camp for 15 months but my claim for disa- bility has been denied by the VA. What can I do now that the ability is getting worse? Veterans Administration will give special consideration to dis¬ ability claims filed by veterans interned in enemy prison camps- You should get in touch with your nearest VA office and have your case reopened. I am going to school under the G I. Bill- My eyes didn’t bother me while I was in service, but they bother me now when I try to do very much studying. Will VA pay for a reader to read some of my textbook assignments to me? No. Veterans with visual im¬ pairment are eligible for reader service only if they are enrolled under the Vocational Rehabili¬ tation Act (Public Law 16). Can I pay my National Serv¬ ice Life Insurance premiums at the Veterans Administraton con¬ tact office? No. Contact offices are not authorized to accept remittances for insurance premiums- Direct payments may be made at in¬ surance collection units in re¬ gional and sub-regional offices.
