All veterans should be aware that the White House Veterans Administration complaint line is now live. The number is (855) 948-2311.

This line is answered by an actual person who will receive and process your concerns regarding VA healthcare and/or VA benefits to the appropriate department. It is available to anyone: veterans, family, friends and concerned citizens. While you may be on hold for 10 or 20 minutes, eventually your call is answered. It is especially important to voice your concerns now because Trump’s latest budget proposal will seriously cannibalize veterans benefits, mainly Individual Unemployability, to fund VA health, specifically the Choice Card.

Basically, they will be robbing Peter to pay Paul. These proposals will hurt elderly and disabled vets the hardest, with Vietnam vets bearing the brunt.
