Veterans News Brief for Sunday, May 12, 2024
Yes, could you explain to the VA that there is such thing as a car grant and how to process it because Las Vegas Prosthetics is not sure about anything. They don’t process anything for anybody that way they never have to do any work but they do get illegal paychecks for denying benefits and services..
they told me I don't have any more education benefits, my wife & adopted grandkid has benefits but I have 0. Guess I should not have went to school so much back in the late 90's & early 2000's .....
Thank you for the info.
Where can we go to read about this benefit? What is the registration or reference? Thank you for helping veterans.
The VA and government don't tell you about your benefits and social security benefits. You really have to do your research and talk to other veterans. VSO's only give you 15 or 20 minutes to complete the application, and don't even tell you about DBQ'S or Nexus letters. Veterans are left to fight the VA on their own for decades.
Due diligence.
Please call the DAV I help veterans all through the claim process I am a DAV CSO
Isnt there a section where it says a Vet that got there disability while serving in a combat zone is excempt from paying back VSI ??
So, if you have no service injury disability, but use the Va for health insurance, you are not qualified for these programs?
After this fiasco, I don't see how they are going to get folks to join the military, unless they implement a forced draft.
I am a 72 year old Viet Nam era veteran. The VA in Texas is WORTHLESS & INCOMPETENT. It is a Waste of your time & money..
The VA documentation is confusion on this subject. Some documents say you can receive vehicle adaptation device(s) but when you download their form it just offers the vehicle grant. Are they not offering adaptive items right now (like 10 years ago they were PUSHING power chairs and now are PUSHING walkers)?
I read that after 30 years you could get a second allowance. Is this correct?
VA is Bull Shite!!!! I am a 72 year old veteran. VA is WORTHLESS !!! They have incompetent people working at VA. I can’t get any answers for ANY Questions l have. WORTHLESS VA !!! Typical US government thugs!
It’s NOT a 15 billion dollar shortfall!!! It’s a 15 billion dollar theft of services disguised as a 15 billion dollar shortfall!!!!!
Why would the give you a grant for a vehicle and you can't drive it. Stupid
OK, so you told a couple of stories about Veterans getting screwed over the VA screwed Veterans over on a daily basis where is the end result? Where can you get your money back?.
Why do so many people feel the need to post this nonsense ????
Commissaries suck! Surcharge tax on top of everything you buy.
Is this all chapter 61. If not it’s another failure. Anyone retired medically should be included and paid based off their services determination percentage.
Not watching any channel from some guy who drinks a lot of milk and eats a lot of bread. Especially buying so-called food from a military base. If you don't even know how to take care of yourself, I'm not watching your videos.😂
I've rewritten the text to focus on encouraging people to get involved in addressing the issue of stolen homeless funds for veterans. Here's the revised version: Veteran Editor Seeks to Expose Stolen Homeless Funds A disabled veteran and video editor is on a mission to uncover the truth about trillions in stolen homeless funding meant for veterans. The veteran, who prefers to remain anonymous, has been traveling the country, visiting NGOs and nonprofits, to investigate the missing funds. In cities like Boston, veterans are being pushed out of housing in favor of immigrants. This is happening nationwide, with 45,000 veterans still homeless and funds being siphoned off by NGOs and big cities. The veteran has compiled a list of these organizations and the amounts they've taken. For example, California is missing $34 billion in homeless veterans' funds, and the government is missing $1.6 trillion in funding. In Cincinnati, the VOA took $31 million. In Florida, Kat Cammack found $130 million missing. In Michigan, Lisa McClain found $3 billion unaccounted for. In Atlanta, $50 million was reported missing on the news. These numbers may all be in the billions or even trillions, stolen in the name of veterans who sacrificed their lives, sweat, and blood for America. The veteran, who is service-connected disabled with a spinal injury at age 51 and has served for 11 years, is homeless with a college education. They recently graduated at age 50 with 26 other veterans in a VA program, yet none of them have jobs. The veteran believes it's time for a discussion about how to support veterans who are homeless due to injuries, sickness, or old age. "Stand up, America! Why doesn't America have our backs when we were willing to die just by raising our right hands?" the veteran asks. The veteran plans to launch a new channel to expose the truth about stolen veterans' funds and the homeless crisis affecting our brave men and women who have served our country. If you're interested in getting involved, follow the veteran's journey on social media using the hashtag #RightHandVeteransFightBack. Let's stand together to support our veterans in need.
I’m one of the vets affected. It sucks. Was medboarded with permanent disabilities.
So a almost blind vet can get money to purchase a car? bwaaaahaaa
I've been very blessed with a very good state pension in Washington State that comes with COLA every July. It is based on the CPI-W index for the Seattle/Tacoma/Everett/Olympia area. My recent COLA increase for July 2024 - July 2025 was 5.9%.
It took me too long to understand VA math....so I just got one condition rated alone at 100%.....much easier! 😂😂😂
That’s how I did it. 100 percent P and T for bipolar. I am 120 percent overall.
Good stuff - I hope this content helps a Vet in need. You are The Man! 😎
It's interesting. Initially I thought it might be compensation for how they're screwing us on mileage payment.
WOW! Thanks for the content..keep up the good work!
too early to predict COLA; by the end of FY (Sep) that is when the # is correct
Very easy, if you have all your medical records.
What ever I receive on my account from the COLA I might be happy or disappointed let’s see how this will go 🤔
They will absolutely find the money under that rock on congress desks.. its an election year😮
95 billion goes overseas to non Americans. Veterans in America get the curb to make room for illegal migrants. COME ON MAN
What is MRSA, CRSA?
Major Richard Star Act. Combat Related Special Compensation.
The VA is woke and will make you broke. The VA hates veterans, especially combat vets.
Bottom line; ALL Veterans who served before 2018 and served less than 20 years, have been left behind. The 2018 BRS legislation finally supply those who ETS after serving a minimum 2 years, receive a minimum pension payment starting at age 60. The 2018 legislation fell short, not including all who served prior. Law makers have prioritized retirement pensions for civilian government employees over military service members. A member of Congress or a postal worker who served just 5 years, get a minimum retirement pension, yet a Marine, soldier, sailor, airmen does not! Fix the 2018 BRS legislation to be inclusive for all who served and stop marginalizing the brave men and women who put country first.
Thank you 🙏 20 yr Air Force Veteran 20yrs 100% P&T I did not know about this good information much appreciated 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Buy Bitcoin 🎉😅stack it up and not worry
Much of the world has matured can we can't seem to get there.
Don't you think that this is one among many things the VA could be distributing information on with all the paperwork they send you? Healthcare overseas is much less expensive so you may have to pay for it first and then wait for VA reimbursement. There's a thing called medical tourism that civilians do why not veterans except we haven't heard about it until now. I encourage veterans to travel to get a wider perspective on what's good in the world.
whats the difference between Major Richard Star Act vs CRSC? if this passes, does that mean they will transfer you from CRSC to MRSA? iand if they do, is it taxable? CRSC is not taxable which is an added bonus to the veteran. A medically retired disable vet due to combat can already receive CRSC tax free so why is this a big thing? The only thing i can think of is that if you get MRSA or are transferred from CRSC to MRSA that it will now become taxable, which is a win for the government and an "L" for the vet. maybe im missing something.
MRSA is written as a modification to how CRSC is calculated. So it remains a Tax Free CRSC payment. Currently CRSC uses a complex A or B formula and chooses the one that pays the least. MRSA ditches those formulas for one that's closer to CRDP.
Hope Republicans and Democrats support Veterans as much as they support Israel and Ukraine. Over few years they’ve spent half a trillion dollars
Man I went to school ( flight training ) using the GI Bill, then received a letter that I was given an eligibility letter in error, and the VA isn’t going to pay for the school. Now I’m stuck owing the school around $5k. How am I responsible when the VA gave me the eligibility letter? I’ve been appealing this for over SIX YEARS.
They did this to me in the late 90's!!!
Most mismanaged agency in the bloated federal government. Disgraceful
To be fair, to my knowledge when you took the lump sum or the monthly payments separation pay. You were briefed ( I did ) that if you eventually received VA disability pay or rejoined later and got retirement pay. Then you would be obligated to pay the bonus back. That being said, I got out in 1995 and took the lump sum. In 2001, I joined the reserves until retirement in 2014. I applied for VA compensation and was awarded disability and promptly had to pay back the exit bonus. It took 2.5 years before receiving and disability pay. To make matters worse, when I reached retirement age, DFAS also took it. The VA and DFAS don't talk to each other. I have sent letters, called both agencies numerous times with evidence to no avail. Finally, sent letters, with evidence of both paybacks to congress men and senators, got blown off by both. I paid it back TWICE.
Me too, crazy..waiting for them to communicate??
We need Trump back in office. This administration has completely screwed up (like we all knew they would as an illegitimate administration).
😂
I an sorry but a convicted felon and rapist with no regards for the constitution and has a plan to reduce VA benefits through Project 2025 is NOT the solution either.
Mandatory spending is not optional
Call congressman but I wouldn’t lose much sleep over it
They are not authorized to stop payments, delay, or cut, it’s mandatory spending.
Considering that the last payment to Ukraine was like $60 Billion dollars, they shouldn’t have any problem funding this. Right? 😂
Thanks man
