Sec. 31.7  Continuance of medical relief after loss of status.

    If a member is separated from any of the services enumerated in 
Sec. 31.2, except persons specified in Sec. 31.2(a) (3) and (5) who 
shall be entitled to treatment after separation under the conditions set 
forth in such paragraphs, while undergoing treatment by the Service, his 
treatment shall be discontinued immediately unless the physician in 
charge determines that the condition of the patient does not permit 
interruption of treatment, in which case the treatment shall be 
discontinued as soon as practicable and the condition of the patient 
permits. At that time he shall be discharged from treatment and shall 
not thereafter be afforded medical relief by the Service by reason of 
his previous service.
