Sec. 408.420  What evidence of World War II military service do you need 
to give us?

    (a) Kinds of evidence you can give us. To show that you are a World 
War II veteran as defined in Sec. 408.216, you can give us any of the 
documents listed in Sec. 404.1370(b)(1) through (5) of this chapter 
that were issued by a U.S. Government agency. However, depending on the 
type of document you give us and what the document shows, we may verify 
your military service, or the dates of your service, with the National 
Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri. If we do, we 
will use the information in NPRC's records to determine whether you meet 
the military service requirements for SVB.
    (b) What the evidence must show. When you file an application for 
SVB, you must give us evidence of your World War II military service. 
The evidence you give us must show:
    (1) Your name;
    (2) The branch of service in which you served;
    (3) The dates of your military service;
    (4) Your military service serial number;
    (5) The character of your discharge; and
    (6) If your service was in the organized military forces of the 
Government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines (including the 
organized guerrilla forces), the period of your service that was under 
the control of U.S. Armed Forces.
