Veterans' Regulation No. 7 (a)
Eligibility for Medical Care
Whereas, section 6, title I, of Public, No. 2, 73d Con-
gress, entitled "An act to maintain the credit of the
United States Government", as amended by section 1,
Public, No. 78, 73d Congress, entitled "An act making
appropriations for the Executive Office and sundry in-
dependent executive bureaus, boards, commissions, and
offices, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934, and for
other purposes", provides:
In addition to the pensions provided in this title the Adminis- trator of Veterans' Affairs is hereby authorized under such limi- tations as may be prescribed by the President, and within the limits of existing Veterans' Administration facilities, to furnish to men discharged from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard for disabilities incurred in line of duty and to veterans of any war, including the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine Insurrection, domiciliary care where they are suffering with permanent disabilities, tuberculosis, or neuropsychiatric ailments and medical and hospital treatment for diseases or injuries.
Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in
me by said law, the following regulation is hereby
promulgated cancelling Veterans Regulation No. 7 and
substituting therefor Veterans Regulation No. 7 (a) to
read as follows:
I. The Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, within the
limits of Veterans' Administration facilities, is author-
ized in his discretion to furnish to honorably discharged
veterans of any war, including the Boxer Rebellion and
the Philippine Insurrection, and to men honorably dis-
charged from the United States Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, or Coast Guard for disabilities incurred in line
of duty, such medical, surgical, and dental services as
may be found to be reasonably necessary for diseases or
injuries incurred or aggravated in the line of duty in
the active military or naval service. Such persons may
also be furnished with such supplies including dental
appliances, wheel chairs, artificial limbs, trusses, and
similar appliances, including special clothing made
necessary by the wearing of prosthetic appliances, as the
Administrator of Veterans' Affairs may determine to be
useful and reasonably necessary, which dental appli-
ances, wheel chairs, artificial limbs, trusses, special
clothing, and similar appliances may be procured by
the Veterans' Administration in such manner, either
by purchase or manufacture, as the Administrator of
Veterans' Affairs may determine to be advantageous and
reasonably necessary.
