LEG-Work (Legislative Work) September 2010

Posted at 07:58 on 2010-Aug-20 by Legislative Committee

NC Department Chairman
New Rules Ease for PTSD Claims: Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki announced on July 11th that the VA will no longer require corroboration of a PTSD stressor related to fear of hostile military or terrorist activity, if a VA doctor confirms a diagnosis of PTSD and the stressful experience recalled by the veteran adequately supports that diagnosis. This should enable more veterans to seek the care that they deserve and have earned. 
Senate Reviews Disability Claims Process: Senate VA Committee held a hearing recently to discuss S. 3517, The Claims Processing Improvement Act of 2010, and the VA disability claims process. The VFW was included in the joint discussion about the legislation. We, and the other Veterans organizations, agreed that the legislation would not benefit veterans. The VFW has long opposed creating separate classes of veterans and continues to do so now. Several sections of the bill present problems, which were discussed in the Independent Budget testimony. This, along with a video recording of the hearing, can be viewed on the Senate VA Committee website at http://veterans.senate.gov/ . We urge all to contact your legislators and the VA Cmte to oppose this bill.
The Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity approved five bills designed to expand training and education for those returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The VFW supported these bills, and we ask you to add your support as well. They include:
-    HR 929 which would authorize $10 million annually through FY 2016 for programs developed jointly by VA and the Labor Department to help eligible veterans' gain critical skills for the current job market.
-    HR 5360, the Blinded Veterans Adaptive Housing Improvement Act of 2010, would update the standard of visual acuity required for eligibility for specially adapted housing assistance provided through the VA. It would also increase from $12,000 to $13,756 funds available for those disabled veterans living temporarily in a home owned by a family member.
-    HR 5484 would establish an annual VA award program to recognize businesses for their contributions to veterans' employment.
