Question

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION. ITS A NOTICE!!!!!!

           I  write to inform ALL SERVICE MEMBERS about a Congressional Bill that might cause major policy changes possibly affecting VA beneficiaries and their dependents. This Bill attempts to implement policies that will end VA benefits for all of us Veterans, earning over a certain amount yearly (Including; employment wages, SSDI/SSA, Retirement outside the military, etc.). THIS IS APPLICABLE TO ALL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS!!!!

I have attached a document going into details on this topic, as well as provided links for fact checking. Though Angry Cops (youtube) gives a lot of information. please, please, PLEASE read the attachment. This will affect us all: regardless of military status, Including all dependents'
 

It would behoove for all to be proactive on this subject, and annoy your representatives. Please use my file as a template if you plan on reaching out to your state representatives, and change what you need. I want to fight for my brothers and sisters, especially being that our politicians wont.

share to all of your contacts (military, dependents, and civilian), as not enough of us are aware of the suck coming down. All details are in the PDF file. I am attempting to bring as many eyes to the stupidity of the political fuckery and if possible bring it to a halt. We have a laundry list of problems when ETSing, and don't need any additional

STAY FROSTY

Seriously cutting vet benefits is like coming out against motherhood and the flag.  It won't work because now we have the 
All Volunteer military how are they going to get people to join up if they cut benefits to those who served.  Benefits are actually way too low including educational and disability compensation benefits.  We do have to be on guard to protect our benefits in so-called peace time.

I can understand that it is an option (not bill i miss spoke) but as we are all told in the military " prepare for the worst, hope for the best". 

I get that this may have happened previously with no actions though, how do we know this has no legs. I am not saying this is going to happening, more so just sending illumination. I will also like to add that the Washington post has wrote a column on this (please go read it as I don't want to misrepresent what is said), but angry cops also speaks on this as well. I will like to also state that VA secretary has no say so on the CBO decision. 

I am not trying to give only views/money to angry cops YouTube either as this doesn't follow his normal script. When I hear information that effects my family, I will share it. I will still say to stay vigilant, as one of my buddies had to update with deers and they asked about how much his wife makes, which I have never been asked. Even when I went to update my deer last year. 

I do thank all replies, Thoughts, and do hope that the cbo is stricken down, but through my intel it hasn't been confirmed yet. I will say I personally do believe that Angry cops is being genuine and trying to keep a 360 coverage.

Its always better to have your pants at your waist, and not at your ankles.

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
