Thank you, Senator Tillis, for always supporting our heroes!

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

Today is Wounded Heroes Day in North Carolina, a day to honor our wounded veterans and their incredible resilience. Susan and I are proud of the work the @IndyFund does to support our veterans and their families.

On what would have been his Alive Day, Susan and I are also remembering our good friend Mike Verardo. His legacy of service and sacrifice continues to inspire the mission and dedication of The Independence Fund.

[Congresswoman Valerie Foushee @ValerieFoushee]

April 24th is Wounded Heroes Day! Today we honor the continued courage, sacrifice, and resilience of U.S. military veterans and their families.

More than ever, Congress has a responsibility to keep our servicemembers out of harm's way and properly support them with the hard-earned benefits they deserve when they come home.

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication.

VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences.

While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.

Under my leadership, VA is ensuring that everyone applying for benefits receives everything they have earned as quickly and conveniently as possible. This includes reducing the backlog of Veterans waiting for benefits by more than 60 percent. We will continue these improvements on behalf of America’s Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.
