CBO Proposed VA Benefit Cuts
Proposal 1: Removing VA Disability Pay for Veterans Who Work
As a veteran, you may be shocked to learn about the first proposed cut to the VA disability benefits program: removing VA disability pay for veterans who work and earn a certain amount. This proposal aims to cut benefits for veterans with higher incomes, which could directly impact your disability compensation.
Currently, 5.2 million veterans receive disability compensation from the VA. However, lawmakers are focused on the fact that VA disability compensation is increasing faster than inflation.
To compare disability benefits to inflation without taking into account the reasons behind the sharp rise in benefits completely undermines your sacrifice for our country.
Veterans today are experiencing mental health issues at a rate 50% greater than civilian counterparts.

Hypocrites - the story tells of respectable congress members who turn out to be a cheats and a hypocrites. There they sit - many having never done any other work, never having been in the service, sending young men into harms way - but not wanting to give veterans compensation for injuries gotten on active duty. Lairs.
I encourage veterans write their elected congressional members immediately. I don't mean an online petition but a hand-on written letter. By-law they must answer the written concerns of their constituency. Also have your wive, girlfriend, neighbors and relatives write them too. That's my opinion on how headslap them.

What other organizations would be able to help petition this that are veteran related? I mean is the entire VFW involved or can they be if they are are not already involved? I think this would be a big help.

Speaking as a disabled vet: I tried working PRN as a nurse. I had a case that took quite a bit of time while working as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Those 5 minutes to provide comfort and care cost me my disability for 2 months. My health at best is unpredictable so I don’t see myself working for pay again. We deserve better. If not for our service many would not need disability. Served and get slapped in the wallet again and again and again.

Should the VA under this administration take the actions outlined in this report that will end the volunteer military force... Then the government would have to implement the draft and that will also be a detriment to a strong military... Our government is taking our Freedoms away from the citizenry at an alarming rate, weakening our populations all because of an EQUITY AGENDA!!! Our government does not seem to care about the people who vote them into office in my opinion... Just saying!

Of course they don’t, they have their own agenda and I am positive it does not include my wants and needs
