WASHINGTON — The Veterans Administration Is urging all GI insurance policyholders to consider whether, in view of raising prices, they wish to limit their beneficiaries to small monthly benefits rather than lump settlements upon the veteran’s death. Many veterans chose, often as long as 25 years ago, to
