Veterans' disability claim denial rates are up, and the data we received from VA this month shows that. We should never sacrifice the type of care we provide veterans, especially when examining their paperwork to decide their disability benefits. See the numbers for yourself.

Couldn't agree more, @deluzio.house.gov. VA shouldn't be dismantled, it should be strengthened. Privatization just shifts costs onto veterans and risks access to care. When every d...

In case it wasn't clear, Mr. President, veterans don't want a vanity arch that will block the view of Arlington National Cemetery. We read their concerns. You should, too.

This week, House Democrats hosted a roundtable discussion on veteran homelessness. Before the Roundtable began, we asked our participants to answer one question: If you could ask Secretary Collins and Secretary Turner to do one thing to help end veteran homelessness, what would it be and why?
We need a clear understanding of what is actually happening in claims processing. Not just how quickly decisions are issued, but whether those decisions are accurate, durable, and fair to the veterans who depend on them.
"Our communities believe that honoring service means ensuring every veteran has a safe and stable place to call home." @repdexteror.bsky.social's Every Veteran Housed Act would remove barriers, streamline VA homelessness program eligibility standards, & expand access for Guard and Reserve veterans.
Would you trust a physician who cites Google or an AI tool? VA employees who are being pushed to make decisions faster are relying on Google and WebMD to justify their claims decisions and are citing those “sources” in the letters they send to veterans.
🚨Congress reconvenes TOMORROW. Veterans, call your members NOW and urge them to sign the discharge petition. We have 157 signatures. We only need 61 more to force a vote on the House Floor. It's time to #PasstheMajorRichardStarAct! ➡️ Has your Member signed? Visit: clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...
"Frankly, I think it's going to lead to worse outcomes for the most vulnerable of our veterans." - @ramirez.house.gov Forcing veterans into guardianships isn't the solution. We must instead ensure veterans have access to the treatment, housing, and services they deserve.
Family & Medical Leave (FMLA) ensures VA employees can take the time they need to care for their family members. But Sec Collin's VA believes in-laws shouldn't be counted as family. We must pass @ramirez.house.gov's HR 7948 to ensure VA employees can care for all members of their family when needed.

The best way to learn how to serve future generations of veterans is to listen to veterans themselves. Before our Roundtable discussion last week, we asked Ben Jeffrey, a veteran who experienced homelessness firsthand, to answer one question for us. Here's what he had to say.
As Dr. Ryan pointed out at our IVF roundtable, proving a connection between women veterans' infertility and their military service is difficult. Women veterans often spend their peak reproductive years in service. They deserve access to reproductive and infertility care once they leave service.
Sean Duffy: ..."Maybe spending time with your children on a road trip is a wonderful experience" Sen. Gillibrand: ..."It is a wonderful thing, but your vacation was paid for by Boeing, Toyota, United Airlines, Enterprise, Shell, Royal Caribbean Group. ..All organizations and companies you oversee."
