Show Notice to Ex-Service Men Dr. B. W. Black, Sub-district manager of the United States N Veterans' Bureau at Salt Lake City, desires to impress the ex-service ex-service men with the necessity of filing their claims for disabil-; disabil-; ities which were received while i in service during the late war. Section 309 of the War Risk Insurance Act dated October 6, 1917 provides as follows: "That no compensation shall be payable unless claim therefore there-fore be filed, in case of disability within five years after discharge or resignation from service, or, in case of death during the service, ser-vice, within five years after the death is officially recorded in the department under which he may be serving Provided however, how-ever, that where compensation is payable for death or disability disabili-ty occurring after discharge or resignation from the service, a claim must be made within five years after such death or the beginning be-ginning of such disability." j Since the majority of men were discharged in 1919, this year (1921) will be the last year i most of the men can file claim. 1 In extreme cases, where a good ' ' cause is shown, the Director may extend the time one year longer. |
