IU Veterans are still not safe...maybe a good time to downsize at home.

I hate this IU BUDGET CUT it is not fair to the older vets

Agree with Buck.

Last time I looked at my VA Choice Card, it said "temporary program".

Last time I looked at IU regulations, they did not say "temporary program".

[Buck52]

I don't see how this budget cut will ever pass or how they figure it will free up millions?

What about if they just stop it before another vet gets awared the extra scheduler IU.   looks like that would save$$

Most Vets that are getting the extra scheduler IU rating never ask for it,but  needed it.

  So needless to NOD the decision at that time , if that vet could not work b/c of his S.C. Condition  then that Veteran was probably happy as a singing bird to get it. 

They  (VA) are the ones that Awarded it  to these veterans...why not just send them a letter and make there IU Moot and give the 100%  same thing as IU vs 100%  And not hurt these poor veterans  I can only imagine how they must feel stressing out over all this IU Budget cuts Proposal to reduce their badly needed benefits.

In my opinion this is only an excuse to do away with Extra Scheduler Vets.

It would not effect the older IU VETS THAT GETTING IT  if they just stopped the Extra Scheduler Program.  just moot the IU an give that veteran the 100%
