[SaintX]

Good News folks,

I have received and advanced copy of the Disability Rate Increase effective December 2010. I believe everyone will be quite pleased.

Teac:

The reason that the thread has not been closed as it has involved into something where some Veterans here have had a chance to express their opinion. It was brought out that the original post was wrong.

So far none of the Moderators have felt that the thread needed closing. That is not to say it won't be closed soon.

|I won't be holding my breath on seeing my check going from 3000 a month to 5000 a month in the next year all this post is going to do is upset a lot of veterans if this was true all of the vet groups would be claiming credit for it and it is not out there anywhere this is the type of adjustment that the VDBC recommended 2-3 years ago and was shelved Congress would never approve this after the recent senate fight over the new 3 presumptive AO issues that Shinseki and Obama approved the Senate stated they were not going to stop them from being made presumptive but the VA is on notice that the money will be watched closely in the future

so I don't see how this gets put thru we will get what SSA gets which this year is again a big fat zero

John999 and Papa,

I made some edit's in your earlier posts, within this thread .

Everyone else interested in this topic -

you can post your frustrations on this issue or non-issue here, but DO NOT go into politics anymore.

Don't even start down the road.

So far the Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) figures are MINUS .07%..................so, until this figure gets into the "PLUS" column...............fer git 'bout it! There won't be ANY increase. Period. NADA, NONE, ZERO!

But, I must say that someone that you trust in the VA, telling you this about the DOUBLING of our disability compensation, only goes to prove to you how much faith you can put in that person's non-information.

(how's that, carlie, I didna say ONE word "politicianally speaking"?)

I'm told there is a chart out there depicting the increase from current rates under HR4677. Can someone steer me to this file even though my understanding is that it is not true
