Our statement condemning a new congressional proposal that would cut disability benefits for up to 1.5 million veterans over the next 10 years:

The vote to turn the Major Richard Star Act into law is long overdue. Fortunately, a “discharge petition” can finally get this done.

For years, combat-injured veterans forced into medical retirement have been denied the full benefits they earned through service and sacrifice. Under current law, veterans must offset earned retirement pay simply because their injuries ended their careers. The Major Richard Star Act would eliminate this offset.

Time and again, these veterans have been promised action. Time and again, Congress has failed to deliver, even though this legislation has overwhelming support in the House with a Republican sponsor and 330 bipartisan co-sponsors. A companion bill in the Senate also has more than 75 co-sponsors, yet congressional leadership has refused to allow a vote on either. That can change with a discharge petition.

If half the House—218 members—sign the discharge petition, a vote will finally take place in the House. With 330 members already publicly supporting this legislation, there is a clear path forward. This discharge petition is not a first step. It’s a last resort.

Congress should stop delaying and bring this bill to the floor. Veterans who sacrificed for this country should not have to fight their own government for the benefits they earned. This injustice is real and Congress has the power to fix it. The only thing missing is action. It is time our nation keeps its promise.

@swlittauer @bikeshare I swear I saw this bike off Whiele Ave in Herndon after picking my boys up from school one day. I remember being stopped at a light and going "Hmmm" out loud. One of them asked why I said that and I told them that bike was pretty far from the district.

DAV applauds the president’s executive order to accelerate research and expand access to innovative plant-based therapies for veterans living with the invisible wounds of war. For far too many veterans, conditions like post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury remain inadequately treated by conventional approaches, leaving them without timely or effective care.

DAV strongly opposes the Office of Personnel Management’s proposal to change federal Reduction in Force procedures because they would remove long-standing veterans’ preference protections and undermine the balanced framework established by Congress.

Veterans’ preference is a statutory safeguard—not a discretionary option—and cannot be diminished through regulation. The proposal exceeds OPM’s authority, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, and fails to justify such a significant departure from established policy.

At a time when hundreds of thousands of veterans serve in the federal workforce, these changes would disproportionately harm those who have already sacrificed for our nation. DAV urges OPM to withdraw the proposed rule in its entirety to preserve fair and lawful protections that keep the promise to America’s veterans. https://t.co/RMD71kRtKF

@KnightsTempOrg Ummm... in case you haven't noticed, he doesn't give a fuck about anyone or anything other than himself.

Good luck with that apology.

This was the goal. Make life miserable at VA for employees. Cut staff so it’s failing. Then declare it’s unfixable and privatize it to billion dollar healthcare and insurance companies who are dying to sink their teeth into 9 million new government funded patients. This is why Doug Collins was hired. This is in Project 2025.

The VA’s rule change attempt was supposed to save $23 billion over ten years. We dropped nearly half that in a week of the Iran war.

DAV has concerns about the Department of Veterans Affairs’ plan to use an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to identify potential fraud in Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) going back more than 15 years.

@kaylee_ashlynn I knew what the first word in your profile was gonna be before I even looked. Shocker.

How many of these chickenhawk politicians beating the drum for war will I have to fight to fund the VA?

DAV applauds @SecVetAffairs' decision to halt the implementation of VA’s rule regarding the impact of medication on evaluation ratings for service-connected disabilities. We appreciate the Secretary listening to and acting on the concerns of those who have served and sacrificed for this nation. No veteran should ever have to worry that taking medications they need due to their illnesses and injuries could result in the reduction of their benefits. We look forward to working with the Secretary to ensure that veterans receive all the health care and benefits they’ve earned now and in the future. https://t.co/xmBCn46UHU

Over the past couple of days, DAV has been flooded with questions and comments from concerned veterans who are worried about the VA’s new rule, which we strongly oppose. In this video, we address some of your most common questions. We encourage you to share your comments with the VA through the Federal Register here: https://t.co/jffxBIAz3w
