The proposed rule has a resounding 80 comments so far and we have until Oct 23, 2009 for additional comments.
I need to take time to read them all-
it is encouraging to see that many comments are from veterans themselves as well as advocates and maybe some VSos and lawyers too-
this is the way to have impact on VA regulations.The VA cannot ignore the public commentary.
They can reject the comments- but then again they reject evidence any how - I am very happy to see the response this proposed rule is getting.
BTW -some years ago the VA pulled something on us all by failing to post a proposed regulation in the Federal Register as open for public comment.I am pretty sure it was a critical AO regulation because NVLSP raised hell with them.
We have Due Process and constitutional rights these days-and the Federal Register gives us more rights when we take the time to comment on whatever the VA proposes to do regarding compensation if they request public comment.

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief
Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was
simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."
Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
