Do you think there will be money for VA disability in the future?
How about military retirement?
I collect combat related disability at 30% and will collect my Army National Guard retirement at the age of 59. I'm 41 right now. I'm relying on that retirement as part of my overall retirement income. I'm not sure our government will be able to pay when I get there.
What thinks you?
Trying to get on the no fly list, one post at a time.
My best guess is if we still have social security we'll still have military retirement and disability pay. If we loose SS then all bets are off.
If anything I could see them re-evaluating disability claims and trying lower them or drop them all together. Same applies to SS disability.

Because of the times I see the bastards doing away with good and proper programs as well as welfare programs so they can have more money for themselves and their buddies to ripoff.
Anything to do with Veteran's issues is a hot topic. It would be a death sentence to any politician's career if they meddled with it in any negative way. We're too large of a voting block.
If I weren't supposed to shoot guns, why did God give me trigger fingers?
There's a point in your life when you get tired of trying to fix everything and trying to make everyone happy. When you finally decide to quit, it's NOT giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and the bullshit they bring to your life.

I hope you're right.Originally Posted by 63DH8
I collect a full retirement and partial disability too.
a re-evaluation of my disability trying to get it increased. I am getting deafer than a stone. It is taking awhile because they are tracking down medical records going back to the early 70s. I have my fingers crossed.....I am now on social security and I am too deaf to get a part time job. So far, I haven't needed one yet.....chris3
