The VA and DoD Don't Have a Funding Problem. They Have a Mismanagement Crisis. (Opinion) The $328.1 billion 2024 budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs is the largest in agency history. President Joe Biden's 2025 budget for the VA asks for yet another increase to $369.3 billion. If enacted by Congress, the 2025 proposal would represent a 668% increase in the VA's budget since 2001. Let's not forget we, the United States, were also at war for over 20 years! There is a cost for that. What that translates to is over 2 million served in Afghanistan and Iraq, spending 1 out of 3 years serving overseas and 60% are under the age of 34. Still relatively young...wait until they get older and things start hurting that never hurt before. I think the entire VA Disability Compensation process should be turned on its head and completely revised. Why not take some of that money and engage with some high speed consultants and leverage technology and best practices and fix the process...streamline/modify the process, establish metrics, retain the high producers and get rid of the low producers. Any Veteran that has filed for disability has gone through this very inefficient process. What would you change/add/delete/modify? https://lnkd.in/e3TvFPWT #VETLANTA #Veterans #veteran #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransupport

Government boosts support for veterans ahead of Remembrance 🇬🇧 Government Boosts Support for Veterans Ahead of Remembrance Day 🇬🇧 This week, the UK government announced a new £3.5 million commitment to support veterans at risk of homelessness, with funding for programs that provide wraparound services—offering mental health support, job assistance, and housing aid. As the nation prepares to honor those who’ve served, this funding ensures veterans not only have housing security this Christmas but well into 2026. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated, “Veterans represent the very best of our country, and we must honor their sacrifices. They’ve safeguarded our freedoms; it’s only right they have security of their own.” Today, veterans and their families will gather at Downing Street to share their experiences. This pledge extends the “homes for heroes” initiative, supporting veterans' access to social housing without local connection requirements. As Remembrance Day approaches, we recognize the dedication of our Armed Forces and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This commitment is one way we continue to serve those who served us. https://lnkd.in/eJ2pK2NX #RemembranceDay #Veterans #SupportOurHeroes #UKVeterans #HomesForHeroes
