The majority of World War veterans are not eligible for immediate hos pitalization under the laws ad ministered by the Veterans' Administration, Dr. Henry R. Car stens, director of VA medical serv ice for Branch Office No. 3, pointed lout today. veterans whose disabilities did not result from service or were not aggravated by service are not eli gible for hospital care unless they are emergency cases.

If non emergency cases, they must be unable to afford a private hospital, Dr. Cars tens said. Thousands of non service connected and non emergency cases are now on the waiting list for an available bed, and many of these former servicemen are slated for operations of choice, he said. Under the law, a veteran with a non service connected illness is not eligible for out patient treatment at any time, Dr. Carstens pointed out.

Whether or not a veteran'e disability is service connected is de cided by a VA rating board on the basis of Army or Navy medical records, physical examinations and other sources of information, If the veteran is not satisfied with the board's decision or has new evidence which might alter its findings, he may appeal his case.
