or apply for Social Security. Is there
any way a relative can get him on
Social Security? -- J.A.
A. You or some other member of the
family who is interested in your
brother's care and welfare should file
immediately on his behalf. If he is
found to be incapable of managing his
own funds, benefits can be paid to a
substitute payee.

from relatives, friends, former em-
ployers, etc., may be submitted if there
is no medical evidence.

earnings at age 62 or later.
Both options should be considered
when you apply.
Q: If I am Involved In an auto ac-
cident, can I drive my car to the curb to
move out of the traffic?
A: Yes. State law allows you to move
a vehicle involved in an accident if
moving the vehicle relieves traffic
congestion and reduces the possibility
of another accident. The law also
requires you to remain at the scene of
the accident, if there were no Injuries,
until a law enforcement officer arrives.
If the accident resulted in injuries,
the law allows the injured person to
seek medical attention ... anyone in-
volved in the accident and not injured
has a duty to call for medical help for
the injured or to transport the injured
person to a medical facility.

for Older Americans," highlighting
available services and benefits for
senior citizens, is available at all VA
