FOUR PENSION DECISIONS,
Assistant Secretary Reynolds has
rendered four decisions of interest to
pension attorneys. The first decision
holds that where at the date of his
death a soldier leaves a wife from
whom he has been legally divorced
and minor children over the age of six-
teen years, his mother will occupy a
pensionable status and can apply for
and receive a pension as dependent
mother of such soldier, upon compli-
ance with the statutory Teyuirements
n such cases.
In the second it is held that where
an invalid pensioner dies leaving no
claim for increase or re-rating of his
pension pending in the pension bu-
reau at the time of his death, but has
accepted the rate of pension he was
plaint, his widow has no right under
the provisions of sections 4718, revised
statutes, United States, to file an orig-
inal claim for re-rating of her deceased
husband’s pension.
The third holds that the terms of
the act of congress, approved March 1,
1893, prohibiting payment of pension
after July 1, 1803, to a
who is not a citizen of the
curred in the service,
ows who are non-resident aliens,
