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

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.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      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:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
