Whatever you do, brother don’t give up. They’ll discourage the hell out of here, but don’t give up. You earned those benefits you earned that. Love you, man.
You last statement, "Its alot of money." The amount of money for Veterans shouldnt be an issues to any American as we spend billions of dollars more on other countries and building walls. I hope Veterans and thier families are worth more.
While our nation owes the veteran community care after serving, money should always be scrutinized, regardless of department, whether DOD budget, social security, and the VA budget. We do not have unlimited money and are lucky our government even has a VA compensation/health care program. My wife is retired law enforcement and has several issues that if she had been military would have been rated for, so things can always change. If the VA budget keeps growing, you better believe it will get cut at some point.
@@Bob-cx4ze while I 100% agree with your statement, the only people who make that statement are Veterans. The politicians who sent us to war would never even consider the statement you just made. They don’t care and I think it’s pretty obvious.
The PACT Act was created during the Trump administration, he could not sign it into law because the election was stolen. It is the VFW who is fighting hard in DC for this things to be implemented. Biden imposed an illegal vax mandate on DoD and all federal employees. Many were left unemployed, homeless, and facing deportation (I was one). 8000 active duty were thrown out. We have historic recruiting shortages in all branches and completely Woke military. I'm happy DJT is back.
@@Bob-cx4zeHe can't pack VA government employees with tons of money, retirement and benefits and do absolutely nothing for veterans themselves. He was forced to do something for veterans
Freakn 6th fleet was miserable at that time, I had to fly people to see 6th fleet commander for incidents that happened in Souda, when the Sara fired at a Turkish ship, then fly lawyers to Turkey to see the surviving sailors of that ship. Jeddah was another story.
So what exactly is 'urinary bladder'? At 34 ive been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis(about 16 years earlier than most men that get it).. it doesnt have its own code . Just frequency and incontinence... ive been to half the places on that list as a helicopter mechanic. So..... yea..
What about Cold War submarine Vets who served time behind and under Soviet ships and subs world wide? Can CW Vets at least get a participation trophy for our "I Love Me Wall"? 😅
This is great for those that were exposed during those time periods.However,I have bladder cancer,lung cancer and pancreatic cancer from the toxins that I was exposed to before the dates that are mentioned. I am being treated for these but they are not claim worthy because they are outside the window of contamination as specified.Any suggestions?
I noticed they werent included also. I met a retired Marine Sergeant Major about 10 years ago, this guy was tore up with scars from having cancers removed that were caused by Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. Disgraceful that those men and women arent included, hopefully they already had these presumptives.
Yes I served and so did my husband.He went to Vietnam also.He passed away in 2017.He didn’t get treatment or compensation.The Army kept saying that they couldn’t find his records or DD214 .It wasn’t until I contacted out Congressman that they located his records.However , he had already passed away.
Clay can you do something in how to file secondary and linking sleep apnea to weight gain. i am 40 percent and have several secondary that i am not sure how to do. i not looking to for 100 percent secondary. ibs secondary to medications for diabetes, weight gain secondary medication. sleep apnea secondary to weight gain. i think i can get to 80 percent or 90
When you have a veteran who was exposed to toxic chemicals, TERA is conceded, and they get denied for (a disability) is there a route you take around this ? The examiner opined it was as least as likely as not that the disability was caused by the toxic chemical exposures. The disability is already named in the PACT ACT,
Why do so many of you make a comment like that $500 million check for Ukraine? So are you saying anytime this country helps out another nation or takes the lead on something that requires funding you think a cut of that money should be deposited into your checking account? I don’t understand when people make those comments. The entire economic engine of this country is not based on VA disability benefits we have other obligations that we pay for and we don’t need your permission before we pay for them and nobody owes you a cut of that money. If you are already receiving disability benefits, you got your share.
@@Kenbot2 yeah of course, but it’s good to know where the interest is in the government is and where it isn’t. Not saying any of it should go to VA disability just pointing out the .01% of where are government spending might be going while many Americans scrape to get by.
I was in China for a year. The pollution there is much worse than some of those countries on that list. Do you think I can still get any presumptive conditions? We were even exempt from PFT and CFT because the pollution was so bad.
I have heard President Bidden say " you Vets get your Pact act claim in"! Trump/Vance will take as much as they can from Vets and all government employees as they can!
Government spending for UNAPPROVED or unconstitutional spending what attributes to anything excluding compensating veterans who were injured while serving our REPUBLIC. DOGE excludes veterans benefits! That is a fact.
And they still haven’t added southern Turkey to the affected area although you are in the SWA and are provided a SWA Medal for serving there…oh, I forgot they are in NATO…it’s political.
Thats a lot of money? One youtuber said that if the US cannot afford taking care of veterans, stop going to war! Your position on money for vets is kind of disturbing. What do you mean “thats a lot of money?” Are you a right wing Project 2025 advocate? Your take on these matters confusing bro. Remove your political goggles and fight for your freaking brothers!
I mean, it’s a lot of money and it’s clearly an issue. 2 things can be true. War is expensive (including post war) and the VA’s budget is a lot of money. I mean, close to $400 billion a year is a lot of money. - Clay
It's not just the Dem's, the GOP controlled the House that voted to the affirmative as well. If you think anyone in DC has your back, look a little closer on who votes for what.
The reason it makes no sense to you trumplings is bc you believe that billionaires that NEVER served a DAY have our interests at heart. You need to take the maga blinders off and figure it out, sport.
DBQs have not been taken away. They're still there. And Dems and Reps have no control of them, so it's not a political thing. DBQs are put out by the VA administration and board.
People can’t stand the fact that he brought inflation down from 9% to under 3%. That there are more jobs than there are people looking for jobs. The unemployment numbers are pre-pandemic. We are the economic envy of the world. Nobody’s Economy is as strong as ours Stocks are through the freaking roof. People like me couldn’t be happier thanks to these last four years money is not a concern of mine anymore. Not my safe money anyway I could go on and on, but people love being misinformed and lied to. There’s no way they’re going to listen to me. I hope they enjoy their life and when is the vote to eliminate Obama care? They’ve been trying for that for a long time. They just don’t realize the healthcare in their state is Obama care again. They won’t believe that until they lose it.
@@Kenbot2Thanks for the good laugh. If everything was as good as you said, Harris would have easily won. Keep watching CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS to name a few
@ the orange domestic terrorist won by one percent. What do you think that means? I will tell you Democrats didn’t show up to vote if they would have Harris would have easily won. Trump was lucky once again answer this though why do you praise a convicted felon, adjudicated, sexual abuser, and domestic terrorist? There has to be a reason.
Biden did a lot for VA employees. As a matter of fact he changed Trump's veterans hotline. So instead of an agency in Virginia, taking care of the complaints The local rigged patient advocate takes care of the complaints so nothing is ever accomplished and all they do is make excuses for lecherous VA employees

Had a few cancer scars already, last one was multiple myeloma in my L2 veritable body. Luckily all benign.
