Harmful Budget Proposal

​By: Chuck Dean - Veterans Columnist
 
President Trump’s 2018 budget proposal contains provisions that will increase costs and diminish the incomes of many veterans and retirees. One of these provisions is eliminating the “Individual Unemployability” benefit.
 
Eliminating IU will significantly impact 208,000 disabled veterans and retirees, and could very well increase the number of homeless veterans in America. Stripping this benefit will cost each veteran and/or retiree, on average, $1,300.00 per month. Of course, due to their disability, these Americans will be unable to make up this financial shortage.
