General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

United States v. Patryas No. 445 Argued February 11, 1938 Decided February 28, 1938 303 U.S. 341
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Under § 307 of the World War Veterans Act, as amended July 3, 1930, a claim for total permanent disability on a reinstated and converted War Risk policy cannot be contested upon the bare ground that the total and permanent disability existed before the insurance was reinstated. P. 342.
Section 307 provides that policies of insurance
issued, reinstated, or converted shall be incontestable from the date of issuance, reinstatement, or conversion, except for fraud, nonpayment of premiums, or on the ground that the applicant was not a member of the military or naval forces of the United States.
The converted policy sued on promised to pay in the event of total permanent disability, upon due proof of such disability "while this policy is in force." Unlike original policies issued under the War Risk Act, it contained no clause expressly excluding liability for total permanent disability incurred before the policy was applied for.
90 F.2d 715 affirmed.
Certiorari, 302 U.S. 676, to review the affirmance of a judgment recovered against the Government on a Veteran’s policy of insurance.
