The wife of a disabled veteran requested reconsideration of a settlement which held that her indebtedness for medical treatment which she and her son received at an Army medical treatment facility was a valid obligation. The treatment was erroneously authorized by hospital officials. Under Army regulations, dependents of disabled veterans are not eligible to receive medical care and are to be charged at full pay-patient rates for the type of care provided. The claim for reimbursement of the amount paid for such care was disallowed.
