The Federal Government Turned VA Disability Into a Liability

The Government Was Punishing You for Your VA Rating

For years, the federal government was quietly using veterans' disability compensation against the very people it was meant to help. In some federal housing programs, VA disability pay money that even the IRS does not classify as income was being counted as household income. The result? The more disabled a veteran was, the less help they qualified for. In this video, I show you the proof. We walk through the federal guidelines that allowed VA disability compensation to be treated as income, how that rule disqualified thousands of disabled veterans from housing assistance, and why Congress has now stepped in to eliminate it unanimously. More importantly, Congress has launched a full federal investigation that could impact every veteran with a service-connected disability rating.
