Description
This is an appeal in a war risk insurance case in which there were verdict and judgment for the plaintiff on a finding, which the government does not contest, that the insured soldier became totally and permanently disabled on January 25, 1919, while the policy sued on was in force. The soldier died in 1925; and his father and mother, who were beneficiaries under the life insurance feature of the policy, immediately filed claim thereunder, which was denied. Both the father and mother died in the year 1931. After their deaths, on July 2, 1931, the administrator of the soldier filed claim with the Veterans Administration for the full amount of the policy, and when the claim was denied filed suit for the full amount thereof within the time allowed by law. Thereafter, he qualified as administrator of the soldiers father and mother, and on December 30, 1936, was allowed to amend his complaint so as to sue as administrator of the father and mother as well as administrator of the solider. The persons entitled to the recovery by the plaintiff as administrator of the soldier are the soldiers brothers and sisters, and they are entitled also to plaintiffs recovery as administrator of the father and mother. They were entitled to the entire amount of the policy both at the time claim was made by the administrator in 1931 and at the time that he instituted suit in 1932.
