Added Note: They wont do anything about politicians who use insider trading to make their spouses and friends wealthy. Or the fraud perpetrated by illegals and their political co-conspirators, duping the taxpayer out of billions. Or the pedophiles that own and run our country getting by with taking advantage of our young. I remember Trump making the negative comments about veterans with High Blood Pressure/Hypertension and other ailments, insinuating veterans were getting disability for things everyone gets. Or veterans cheating to get disability. Completely overlooking the service connection of chemicals that caused these disabilities like the dangerous use of chemicals like the isocyanates found in aircraft paints that caused the ailments like high blood pressure and nerve issues that never ran in the families of veterans. This attack and abandonment of our veterans is pitiful. I'm glad to see it came out before the midterm elections though, because we wont vote for anyone that doesn't take a public, loud stand against it. Yes, i did vote for Trump, as what other logical choice was available? But i did not expect him and his VA official to stab us in the back.
Article Title: DAV statement on VA Interim Final Rule concerning disability ratings and medication
Article Excerpt: "...DAV is extremely disappointed and alarmed by VA’s decision to issue an Interim Final Rule today that could potentially reduce disability compensation for millions of disabled veterans. The new regulation would allow VA to reduce disability compensation ratings for veterans who take medications to control their conditions or reduce their symptoms. The rule—which disregards clear decisions from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, Jones v. Shinseki, 26 Vet. App. 56 (2012) & Ingram v. Collins, 38 Vet. App. 130 (2025)—was developed and issued in a closed and unnecessarily expedited process that effectively shut out veterans from providing any meaningful input. It is unclear if and how VA is implementing this dramatic change and how it will impact the more than 6 million veterans currently receiving disability compensation, most of whom are taking at least one medication. ..."
