I wonder if this is what they're talking about... (*)
BIG VA Rating Changes Coming in 2025: What Veterans Really Need to Know!

(*) I simply grabbed the first link I hit, which was not from a law firm.

As this is a legal forum and not a political one, I'd like to politely request that if member wish to fight about their political beliefs they do so off line.

Oh yeah, the VA has already been sending out letters reducing VA disability percentages from 50-20, 60-40, etc. and etc.

Hmmm, I received a 100% disability rating back in 2008.

In fact, my VA "gift" was precisely what I've been receiving month after month, after month, except for Congressionally approved increases.

I guess I'm just lucky.

You are a lucky fella, I do not have a problem with entitlements. My father is 100% VA disability for Agent Orange which they went back and just allowed. I just read an article that these tariffs combined with eliminating the income tax would be something a kin to the late 1800s and early 1900s. I do anticipate the current administration trying to tie SS to some sort of DODGE coin digital asset, maybe raise age limits, and/ or drop tier benefit level amounts.

It would take congress to do such a thing as eliminate SS, and this would result in guaranteed change in the elected. I just had to send in an Explanation of Benefits for a $15 dollar FSA charge which wasn't billed till this year while the appointment is or was from late in the previous year. I didn't catch it and used 2025 FSA dollars to pay for an office visit from 2024, but which wasn't billed till 2025. Oh well if the government wants it $2 dollars back I am sure I can send it to them. If you want to know what the real rip offs to the government is then I give you no other than United Healthcare and their agent organization Optum. Not only do they agree to price contracts with UHC they also use a pharmacy management organization such as Optum to set prices and reimbursement amounts that they get from the government. So, basically their members pay for the price of healthcare while they triple and double dip into medicaid/ medicare payments for reimbursement for their plan participates. This in affect is a legal ponzi scheme which the government lets them get away with. So, if DOGE wants to save government fraud maybe they should start with them.

UHC unfortanelty handles my FSA so I have to deal with their crap on a monthly basis. If you have any other options than UHC, you should use them. UHC is a death sentence to anyone who has the misfortune of having their insurance.
