Budgets not at Veterans expence

Created by J.A. on December 20, 2012

Among the plans being considered by the White House and Congress as budget deficit negotiations continue are ones that would change how annual cost of living adjustments are calculated for most federal entitlements programs, including the 3.2 million veterans receiving disability compensation.

Wwe must do defilcilt reduction, but not by cutting programs for people who suffered debillatating injuries defending our country.

A change in how annual cost of living adjustments are calculated could mean that veterans who started receiving VA disability benefits at age 30 would have their benefits reduced by $1,425 at age 45, with continued reductions thereafter, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
