The document is regarding a veteran named Raymond L. Utley who is 100% service connected due to anxiety and was discharged from World War II for this cause. He has a history of drinking and has been in and out of hospitals for anxiety and depression. The Veterans' Administration in Topeka requested authorization for him to move to a nursing home in Alma, Kansas in 1975, but later ruled that his brain damage was not service connected, resulting in loss of compensation. The document questions why the veteran is not eligible for VA contract for nursing home care. Another letter from the Veterans Administration in Topeka requests assistance in planning a nursing home placement for Mr. Utley at the Alma Manor in Kansas. The document mentions his progress in providing his own care and his interest in music, and suggests a trial basis for him to go to the nursing home on October 10, 1975.
