Mr.

Powell pointed out that the questionnaire carries a printed warning which read "Important. Failure to return this card before Jan. 31, 1962 will result in discontinuance of payment. You would also be required to pay back all pension you received in 1961 and for January 1962." He added that of these questionnaire cards were mailed out on Dec. 31 in the same envelope with monthly benefit checks to all in the 30-county Houston region who are required to make income reports for 1961 and 1962.

These are veterans receiving nomserviee connected disability pension, widows and children receiving non-service connected death pension and parents receiving benefits on service connected death of veteran and evidence of dependency. Full instructions for completion of card were also enclosed. Since the pension is payable only to those whose incomes are below certain limits the VA is required by law to receive an income report each year to justify payments. About 15,000 acceptable reports were returned to our Houston office through Jan. 20, said Manager Powell, leaving 7000 still out.

He added that all applicable blanks must be filled in with a clear answer, that the card must be properly signed and not bent, folded, mutialted or stapled to anything else. He reminded all concerned that trained assistance in completing the questionnaires is available in the Contact Division, Houston VA Regional Office at 2320 LaBranch Street. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Duplicate cards may be provided to replace any lost, destroyed or not received in mail.

He emphasized also that help in completing the cards is being given by County Service Officers, American Red Cross and Veterans Organizations.
