**(a)** Upon application by the insured and under such regulations as the Secretary may promulgate, payment of premiums on insurance may be waived during the continuous total disability of the insured, which continues or has continued for six or more consecutive months, if such disability began (1) after the date of the insured’s application for insurance, (2) while the insurance was in force under premium-paying conditions, and (3) before the insured’s sixty-fifth birthday. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, in any case in which the total disability of the insured commenced on or after the insured’s sixtieth birthday but before the insured’s sixty-fifth birthday, the Secretary shall not grant waiver of any premium becoming due prior to January 1, 1965.
**(b)** The Secretary, upon any application made after August 1, 1947, shall not grant waiver of any premium becoming due more than one year before the receipt by the Secretary of application for the same, except as provided in this section. Any premiums paid for months during which waiver is effective shall be refunded. The Secretary shall provide by regulations for examination or reexamination of an insured claiming benefits under this section, and may deny benefits for failure to cooperate. If it is found that an insured is no longer totally disabled, the waiver of premiums shall cease as of the date of such finding and the policy of insurance may be continued by payment of premiums as provided in said policy. In any case in which the Secretary finds that the insured’s failure to make timely application for waiver of premiums or the insured’s failure to submit satisfactory evidence of the existence or continuance of total disability was due to circumstances beyond the insured’s control, the Secretar

TITLE 38—VETERANS’ BENEFITS
§ 1913
ination or reexamination of an insured claiming
benefits under this section, and may deny bene-
fits for failure to cooperate. If it is found that
an insured is no longer totally disabled, the
waiver of premiums shall cease as of the date of
such finding and the policy of insurance may be
continued by payment of premiums as provided
in said policy. In any case in which the Sec-
retary finds that the insured’s failure to make
timely application for waiver of premiums or
the insured’s failure to submit satisfactory evi-
dence of the existence or continuance of total
disability was due to circumstances beyond the
insured’s control, the Secretary may grant waiv-
er or continuance of waiver of premiums.
(c) If the insured dies without filing applica-
tion for waiver, the beneficiary, within one year
after the death of the insured, or, if the bene-
ficiary is insane or a minor, within one year
after removal of such legal disability, may file
application for waiver with evidence of the in-
sured’s right to waiver under this section. Pre-
mium rates shall be calculated without charge
for the cost of waiver of premiums provided in
this section and no deduction from benefits oth-
erwise payable shall be made on account there-
of.
(d) In any case in which an insured has been
denied or would have been denied premium waiv-
er under section 602(n) of the National Service
Life Insurance Act of 1940 or this section solely
because the insured became totally disabled be-
tween the date of valid application for insurance
and the subsequent effective date thereof, and in
which it is shown that (1) the total disability
was incurred in line of duty between October 8,
1940, and July 31, 1946, inclusive, or June 27, 1950,
