Flatbroke Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It says between 1.3% and 1.7% are they going to use VA math and round that down to 0.0%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 23, 2012 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 23, 2012 What ever happened to our 25% increase for loss of quality of life? I think we need a real base rate increase. If you are 100% and don't have a decent SSDI payment you are really almost poor. The median income is $50,000 a year in the USA. That means half make more and half make less than 50 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvretiredvet Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 · Hidden by Pete53, September 23, 2012 - Political and not factual Pete Hidden by Pete53, September 23, 2012 - Political and not factual Pete You mean the 25% "Quality of Life" mentioned in this 2007 report http://veterans.sena...fitComm9-27.pdf ? Please note that there never was a promise, just the report. I suspect that the then current administration convened the Commission, certain that there would be significant recommendations as how to limit veterans benefits. To some degree, some limiting recommendations were made (see report Pages 74 and following). However, as the "25% QoL" wasn't one of them, that portion was quickly ignored.

jvretiredvet Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) You mean the attached 2007 Veterans Disability Benefits Commission ? IMNSHO, the administration from that time was hoping that the commission would come up with a slew of easily implemented recommendations as how to reduce the long-tail cost of veterans. the QofL receommendation wasn't one of 'em.
