They don’t, however, and, as a result, many pension, com pensation or insurance checks j are undeliverable and are re [turned to the Treasury dis- i burslng office. If the following month’s check is also returned, no further monthly mailing may be made. Thus the veteran has unintentionally cut off his own payment, until he later makes his whereabouts known. During January, 1965, records at the Data Processing Center, Hines, 111., showed that more than 60,000 veterans changed addresses. Some of them notified VA or their former Postmasters but 24,372 checks were returned for lack of delivery information.
Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal office of the Divi sion of War Veteran’s 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.
