1. Senate Veterans' Disability Compensation Hearing: The VFW testified this week on behalf of the Independent Budget on the findings and recommendations of the Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission. The hearing was the first of several that the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee plans to hold on the VA's current disability ratings schedule. VFW testimony focused on proposals made by the VDBC in three critical areas: the schedule for rating disabilities, quality of life, and individual unemployability. The four VSOs who make up the IB believe that any changes to the current rating schedule should be made after a thorough review by experts in a variety of disciplines, and any change should benefit all veterans. For our testimony and more from the hearing, visit the Senate VA website at: http://veterans.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?pageid=16&release_id=11504
