MAKE THIS GO VIRAL

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.

Mr. Secretary, I don't know if this is real or not. Or if it is real, if it's codified or not. But I, and others, have a VERY serious problem with this if true. Especially given recent events. Nickel and diming warriors when bad faith fraudsters can fleece us for billions with "Learing Centers" seems wildly hypocritical. It's difficult (in my mind) to justify a financial benefit to people who hate this country at the expense of those who bled for it. I hope this is not true. If it is, I hope you rescind it. Because this is insanely unpopular. There are better ways to limit disability fraud than this. "Actual functional impairment as medicated" is like judging the depth of a wound by how well the bandage hides it. Sir, this ain't the play. Passionately, I tell you, this ain't the play.
