    HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A COMBAT VET TO FOLLOW ALL OF THE RULES AND BE INTOUCH WITH THE SYSTEM ,WHEN THE VET NEEDS HELP TO KEEP HIM SELF IN TACK TO JUST FUNCTION, I ONCE COULD KEEP UP,AGE BRING ABOUT A LOT OF CHANGE, TO THE POINT THAT YOU NEED HELP,YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WHEN YOU WAS MUCH YOUNGER ,OLDER VET THAT HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS CANT KEEP UP WITH THIS SYSTEM,THE SYSTEM IS TO HARD, MOST OF THE VETS JUST HAVE GED, AND THIS SYSTEM IS SET UP MUCH HIGHTER THAN WHEN A VET STARTED THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE

    I didn’t agree with everything Harris said, but damn it, I had enough sense to not vote against my own interests. I thought most veterans who relied on their disability to live like I do would do the same. It’s not like it wasn’t mentioned and people who voted Trump were blindsided. They knew. Wasn’t worth it in my opinion. Especially since he’s already backtracking his promises.Fool me once….

      That's only if you're granted 100% disability. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE DECLARED 100% DISABLED? *You must be taking an OPIOID, OR OPIATES Before You Can Be Declared 100%!* THE V.A. DOESN'T DISPENSE OPIOID OR OPIATE MEDICATIONS ANYMORE NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE PAIN. *Get rid of the medication then we can get rid of the vets on disability!!!* IT TOOK 25 YEARS, AND OVER 5 HEARINGS, PLUS HAVING RADIOLOGIST TAKE IMAGES OF MY SPINE, AT MY HOUSE FOR PRESENTATION AS EVIDENCE OF MY INJURIES, The V.A. Refused My Possession Of All Medical Images, And Prohibited Any To Be Presented In My Case. *THE DOCTORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT ABOUT THE INJURIES SUSTAINED, AND MUST AVOID ALL DIAGNOSES OF DISABILITY!* The doctors can testify to verify if a patient is disabled. But it's not allowed. *ANY CARE OUTSIDE OF THE V.A. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM CAN, AND WILL VOID ALL DISABILITY CLAIMS!* Says so in the contract. Now they're telling vets they can see whatever doctor they want without telling the consequences of doing so. THE INJURIES MUST BE DOCUMENTED IN YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS! *You idiots think all we need to do is say we need it.*

      No, we can't because that would make all the of Veterans that voted for him look stupid. Just like all the Federal employees that voted for him look stupid. Funny thing is the Federal government is the largest employer of Veterans. But of well we gotta "own the libs" somehow.

    Thank you for the update, appreciate it, just another question, we hear that they (the MAGAs) want to get rid of the 10% unemployability rating, want to privatize the health care by moving all vets to Obama card ( which will be put into Medicare advantage, which has failed.millions and very expensive), and finally, VA comp.is considered discretion spending as opposed to mandatory spending which makes it easier to cut. What have you heard, thank yoj...

    The left and the media are attempting to mislead you. It is crucial not to believe the unfounded claims surrounding this project. The so-called Project 2025 is a concept put forth by a think tank group that has no actual ties to Trump or his agenda. It is important to differentiate between genuine initiatives and those that lack legitimacy.
