> The President of the U.S. has recently signed into law a bill that affects
> all veterans.  This law states in effect that if a veteran has not
> registered at a Veterans Affairs Hospital since Oct. 1, 1996, then on Oct.
> 1, 1998 he or she will loose all medical benefits for life.

> To make it worse, the V.A. cannot notify veterans about it. That
> information must be disseminated via word of mouth or by letter.We called
> the local V.A. office and  found out this information is true.
> 
> They recommended that everyone eligible for benefits come by their office,
> and sign up prior to the October 1st deadline, irregardless of whether
> they have received treatment at a V.S. hospital since 10/01/96.  This way
> no one will slip through the the cracks.

> You will need to bring your DD-214 to your local V.A. office and it will
> only take about 5 minutes to complete the form.  This will maintain your
> veterans benefits.  If you cannot locate your DD-214, go to the V.A.
> office and they can help you obtain a copy.
