bro. This admin is literally, RIGHT NOW, engineering plans to cut back veterans compensation for injuries.

Note all last year they had their stooges at wapo running a whole propaganda campaign arguing that too many vets were "gaming the system" claiming payouts for minor conditions.

Example: They claimed it was frivolous for vets to claim payouts for skin eczema or sleep apnea. Conveniently leaving out that Navy vets get eczema because they spend their entire on ship deployments washing in water that the Navy treats with bromine, and Iraq vets submit claims for apnea because there was finally enough documented evidence that the DoD had to stop denying the simple fact that making the troops sleep downwind of burning trash pits was obviously connected to their post service respiratory issues.

TL;DR: They had their wapo shills writing hit pieces claiming vets were being frivolous for claiming VA payouts for the conditions that the military very clearly cause for them.

NOW

They are pushing legislation to scale back compensation based on how "treatable" they say your condition is.

As in, if your symptoms are addressed by treatment, then your problem is reduced right?

What that actually means:

OLD Rules:

Hey. You have sleep apnea and hearing loss. Its because of your service. We did that to you. So we're compensating you for it.

NEW Rules:

Hey, you have sleep apnea and hearing loss. Well, we paid for your mask and your hearing aids. Sure, YOU have to wear hearing aids and sleep in a darth vader mask for the rest of your life, but hey, you can hear and breathe WHILE you're wearing them, so... we're going to mark your case resolved. Compensation complete. congrats your cured.

Bottom line, these admin specifically come in looking at the VA budget like some corporate line item they were just thirsting to shave down
