Military Veterans Info Meeting

Over sixty people gathered in the Kabouterland Creche in Lotusville last week to listen to Samuel Manuel, chairperson of the South African Cape Corps Military Veterans Association. The aim of the Association, which is based in Port Elizabeth, is the upliftment of military veterans and their beneficiaries, helping them to claim those benefits to which they are entitled.

This is the third time that Manuel has visited Aberdeen, as part of his travels around the Eastern Cape. Many of those present were there to find out the progress on their applications for the various benefits available, and Manuel and Secretary Cedric Bosman patiently answered the many general queries as well as helping with specific problems.

Bosman explained the details of how a claim for compensation can be lodged, and the documentation required to be admitted to the veterans' medical aid scheme. This was of particular interest to those present.

More information is available on the Association's website www.mil.vet.co.za, or local representative Maria Lewies can be contacted on 074 382 0985.
