"No changes are planned or imminent."

That's VA's position.

The argument that veterans should accept benefit cuts because they're inevitable doesn't hold up.

And even if it did, veterans shouldn't have to fund veterans' benefits.

We support the help. We reject the offset.

🚨 Action Alert

They said they wouldn't cut veterans' benefits.

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act does exactly that.

$57 billion. 1.5 million veterans. Tinnitus. Sleep apnea. Conditions earned in combat. Stripped from future veterans to pay for other veterans' benefits.

VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore: "A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice."

This community has a code. We don't eat our own.

The proposal would fund combat veteran disability and retirement pay while changing disability ratings for sleep apnea and tinnitus.

Happy Women Veterans’ Day.

On this day in military history back in 1948 The Women’s Armed Services Integration Act was signed. This year is particularly significant as it is the anniversary of that groundbreaking legislation for America’s military women, granting women a permanent place and an opportunity for a career in the nation’s military. June 12th is a special day designated to honor America’s military women, past and present.
