Shown to have been aggravated in service, or 3. A_chronic disabiliry sjiown to have Vecome apparent wittt in one year after discharge from wartime service, or within the presumptive period allowed for certain disabilities. There is no presumption for peacetime service, except for some tropical diseases when the veteran was stationed in the tropics for at least 6 months. When service treatment rer cords have become lost or misplaced, service connection can sometimes be established by personal affidavit of the veteran, medical affidavits from the home doctor and affidavits from comrades who served with him. It is especially important that the veteran on his claim form answer fully all questions asked, because a full description of the dates and places of treatment can some times uncover records misfiled.

Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran's affairs.
