President Plans to Release VA Emergency Funding
An Administration spokesman announced today that the $3.7 billion dollars in
emergency funding will be released upon the President's return from the
Middle East.
Thanks for all your letters and phone calls on this most important issue.
This demonstrates that by working together as advocates we can make a
difference on behalf of all veterans.
Know that with your help the additional funding will allow VA to:
*Hire additional claims processors and train staff to reduce the
ever-growing disability claims backlog
*Treat our returning service members who put their lives on the line in Iraq
and Afghanistan, by providing them with all the health care they need,
including full mental health coverage and treatment for traumatic brain
injuries and other war-related illnesses and disabilities.
*Care for the hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled veterans from other
conflicts, particularly as many of them grow older
We also would like to thank the President and the Congress for keeping their
promise to properly care for America's veterans.
