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.
5 yrs ago today was a shooting at my kid's college. For 15 excruciating minutes, I couldn't reach her, but I finally did. Others weren't so lucky.
This selfless young man Riley gave his life to stop the shooter and save his classmates.
I'll never stop honoring his memory.
TN voters, your friendly reminder that Tim Burchett has an opponent. If you’d like to hold Tim accountable for doing absolutely nothing to improve the lives of his constituents, then support, donate & vote for @JaneGeorgeTN in Nov! @BarnwellSmith @KnoxDems @TNgrassroot
I guess the Covenant Moms who don’t want guns in their children’s classrooms are also “gun grabbers” right @WilliamLamberth? ��
Spare me your manufactured outrage and weak talking points
