Do not take these benefits away from our vets! Cut waste somewhere else. This is betrayal. Help the vets, do not make things even worse. They have struggled to get these benefits a long time. If you cut these benefits it will be my last Republican vote.

The VA thinks the suicide rate is high now enact the termination of IU at age 62 and watch the suicide rate explode. This bill is a death sentence to many disabled veterans stop the erosion of veteran benefits.

This POTUS is "Agent Orange" all over again. Once again, the Nam Vets are and always will be the Military's "Step Children" 1

Sounds like this Proposal says when a person reaches S.S. age they can change their life and live with less money or not need as much.

I have 2 purple hearts, presidential unit citation, many more awards from the army. I was a sgt. in 173rd airborne brigade. I was on hill 875 in dak to. all the officers were killed and most of my buddy's. So many things was covered up by people in charge. one of my best friends died about a week ago from the viet nam war. we just had a day for the vets. so many years viet nam vet were treated less than right. I finely have people that thank me for fighting for this country. Now the president that told me he was going to help the vets is going to take away our iu this is the biggest slap in the face sense I returned from viet nam. I will loose ever thing I have. President trump should have never signed this bill. He lied to us. please don't let this bill pass.

There is too many Veterans going without as it is now and many that are homeless.This should not happen in our country and needs to stop.

I support the DAV's on these negative proposals. Cutting back on the benefits of veterans with service-related disabilities is especially objectionable.

Stop the Federal Budget from eliminating the unemployability rating for our most disabled Veteran, this would cut their check in half and reduce other benefits and could very well make them HOMELESS.

I support the DAV's position on these two negative Veteran proposals within the federal 2018 budget.
