8:25Now PlayingThe VA, under Secretary Doug Collins, floated cutting Individual Unemployability payments for an estimated 450,000 veterans aged 67 and older — the benefit that pays severely disabled vets at the 100% rate when their service-connected injuries make them unable to work.
Then the veterans found out. The VFW, DAV, and American Legion came down hard, and last week the VA confirmed it is not pursuing the age-based cut. For once, the pressure worked — they backed off. The catch: a shelved budget proposal isn't a repealed law. The thinking behind it is still sitting in a spreadsheet, waiting for a quieter year. Keep the receipt.
