Why should I care about an increase? I am 40% disabled. If I were 50% they would pay me something, but at 40% they rob my retirement and give it back with a smile. So, an increase is just another way of saying more to be stolen from my retirement.
The entire purpose is that you should care. You are not the only one going through this issue. But a mindset of well i dont care doesn't fix the issue. It's understanding how many go through this and getting together to work on policy or a petition to make changes. Giving up makes it easier for them not to have to take care of us veterans, and we need to get better at speaking together for our wellbeing .
Those are two different entities, VA being funded by discretionary budgets and tax revenue, and SS from SS Tax. They are both taxes taken out but not directly related to each other.
I was rated at 100% and 2 months later brought down to 90% then was told I had to pay back $450.00 for 3 years and a nov 2024 they are taking back $1500.00 more and told me to go thru the channels at this time don't know what is my rating what a joke.😂
I just want to make a comment and I'm not a veteran 2.5 that I'm getting from social security do you know how much it would be throughout the country give to the warriors that wounded in battle and the warriors on the battlefield still. Ive made my decision I'm going to.
Everybody in the United States please follow the armed forces needed to protect the Earth all NATO FORCES Send it to your nearest CHARITY for all of our rights to live.
Medicare premium went up so did deductible For B A .😢 Medicare got that 2.5 right back. You saw an increase so they can get it right back! RACKETEERING!!!😮
It seems either, you are failing to count the SMC-K that you are receiving which is about the same amount of the raise we are receiving, or you like many other Vets are having pay issues and need to contact the VA to clarify the issue.
Space A Flights are flights that you can take, usually from an air force base that allows you to travel when there is available space on the flight for free. It does not mean that you get an automatic flight. As there are priority groups and space availability requirements in order to fly. If you have an Air Station or Air Force installation, make sure to ask and they will fill you in on locations of flight and availability!
1.5 trillion dollar debt ceiling raise. But 2.5 trillion dollars in Cuts. Trump is going to do this to the American Families. Right now 36.1 trillion dollars in debt because or corporate tax cuts.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There are many changes upcoming through the change of administration, it is being spoken about so we need to be aware of it happening but we have nothing certain of what it pertains to. What we need to do as Veterans is unite to ensure our benefits are not cut by those who never wore the uniform.
@@lonnierobinson500 - WHO is peddling this misinformation? The Trump Administration has made absolutely NO MENTION of "cutting" our benefits or our checks.

I’d say get rid of the VA Healthcare Admin and give all vets an insurance policy similar to Tricare. Why does it have to be that the “Best Healthcare” vets receive involves medical students or dental students in training tending to vets. I have 1 doctor who doesn’t follow up. She states things that can be concerning in terms of my health but never follows up or returns one phone call. I had surgery 2 years ago through community care organized by the VA which was the best thing ever. To deal with VA doctors and think that you’re getting the best treatment… no way.
@nymarine215 so it's looking deeper into it. The VA doesn't pay enough, so the VA can not keep doctors, and a private doctor can make many times more money. But now costs get driven up due to outsourcing. In the same way, if you contract overseas, then compare it to what we made while serving, same principle, but for this its specialist of care, and we also dont have a pipeline of doctors within this country to help fix the issue.
Great thanks just in time thanks

VA DISABILTY IS NOT TIED TO THE MILITARY RETIREMENT SYSTEM OR SSI IS THAT TRUE, AS IN DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR RECIEVED IS IT.?
Those are two different entities, VA being funded by discretionary budgets and tax revenue, and SS from SS Tax. They are both taxes taken out but not directly related to each other.
Im just here again for that smooooooth jazz.

How are you not able to know what your current rating is? That sounds crazy to even deal with!

I’m already making what you say will be the amounts in 2025! That’s not a raise

What is space A flights

2.5% is an insult
I believe that with how inflation hit and everything went up in price, 2.5% was most likely not what everyone was expecting.
LET"S see they said inflation was about 18 to 20% so we get 2.5 % that sounds real fair?
Well we all know it isn't, we just have to start pushing for policies that will make it a set amount per year as a minimum.
This takes too long
You can always just head to the website www.va.gov/disability/compensation-rates/veteran-rates/
What in Hades would make you believe this would be done by any political party?
What exactly are you referring to?

@Ridgebackz6219 no they collected more money under Trump Biden gave it all away to Ukraine and illegals
Crazy how within that there's somehow no money for Vets
I get VA disability at 30% but I can only expect for two more months before Republican wipe it away can you say anything about this

Defund the VA? Serve yourself with some pride, and your country.
