Sec. 10.32  Evidence of dependency.

    Evidence of a whole or entire dependency shall not be required. The 
mother or father shall be considered dependent for the purposes of the 
act when it is established as a fact that the mother or father of a 
deceased veteran did not have sufficient means from all sources for a 
reasonable livelihood at the time of the death of the veteran or at any 
time thereafter and on or before January 2, 1935. In those cases where 
because of continued and unexplained absence for seven years the veteran 
is declared deceased under section 312(a) of the Act as amended May 29, 
1928, the mother or father shall be considered dependent when it is 
established that the mother or father did not have sufficient means from 
all sources for a reasonable livelihood at the beginning of such 7-year 
period or at any time thereafter and before the expiration of such 
period.
