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.
