PART 8_NATIONAL SERVICE LIFE INSURANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 8.9  Application and medical evidence.

    The applicant for reinstatement of National Service Life Insurance, 
during his or her lifetime, and within 5 years after the date of lapse 
if the insurance was issued under 38 U.S.C. 1925, must submit a written 
application signed by him or her and furnish satisfactory evidence of 
health as required in Sec. 8.8 at the time of application. Applicant's 
own statement of comparative health may be accepted as proof of 
insurability for the purpose of reinstatement under Sec. 8.8(a), but, 
whenever deemed necessary in any such case, report of physical 
examination may be required. Applications for reinstatement submitted 
after expiration of the applicable period mentioned in Sec. 8.8(a) must 
be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of good health. If the insurance 
becomes a claim after the tender of the amount necessary to meet 
reinstatement requirements but before full compliance with the 
requirements of this section, and the applicant was in a required state 
of health at the date that he or she made the tender of the amount 
necessary to meet reinstatement requirements, and that there is 
satisfactory reason for his or her noncompliance, the Assistant Director 
for Insurance, VA Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania may, if the 
applicant be dead, waive any or all requirements of this section (except 
payment of the necessary premiums) or, if the applicant be living, allow 
compliance with this section as of the date the required amount 
necessary to reinstate was received by the Department of Veterans 
Affairs.
