The “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA)” is a massive bill that would cut disability compensation for tinnitus and sleep apnea for future claimants to fund other provisions. The bill would cut up to $57 billion over ten years, affecting as many as 1.5 million veterans.

Ringing in your ears from weapons fire. Sleep apnea from blast exposure and burn pits. These are real injuries, from real service, reduced to a line item to balance the books.

What’s worse, disability cuts aren’t half of it. The same bill triples a VA home loan fee, lets the VA rule on disability appeals in bulk instead of weighing your record, empowers the layoffs that compromise our care, and lays the legal groundwork to hand VA buildings to private operators.

Veterans earned these benefits through service. We are not going to stay quiet while politicians hide their betrayal in a poison bill.

Send a letter to your members of Congress now. Tell them this bill is an insult to anyone who’s ever worn the uniform, and it cannot stand.
