Why is the veteran always subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties and VA workers are always given amnesty. I just logged onto ebenefits and I saw this post. VA workers are always given amnesty for destroying, shredding, losing, misleading government officials and anything else they can get away with but they get a slap on the wrist, very few are fired and even less go to jail but veterans must sign forms with a legal statement saying the information is true to the best of their knowledge. These are the same forms that government employees are destroying, shredding, throwing in the trash and they get amnesty and veterans go to jail. If VA forms are legal documents then VA employees should not get amnesty. How hard is it to do the right thing.

Actually, destroying government documents can be a crime. The problem is that government workers have, in general, immunity if the actions are related to the job.

And, who determines this? The government, and those that ordered the document destruction, who else!

For some years, I've felt that a veteran that was unlawfully denied benefits or had them withheld should be able to not only sue, but actually start

a criminal case for misuse of government funds.

I believe that the record "redaction" VA effort just a few years ago was intended to make such actions more difficult to impossible.
