As a member of the disability community, and a former DC resident for 40 years who worked in government contracting, I can wholeheartedly assert that the administrative practice of the VA is definitely to err on the side of excluding people from eligibility, rather than handing it out like popcorn.
The trouble with US veterans benefits isn’t ‘rampant’ fraud – it’s bureaucratic roadblocks, advocates say
Veterans groups say recent Washington Post stories on VA disability payments paint a misleading picture. The paper stands by its reporting

The first volume of "Dickinson's Poems," edited jointly and badly by Mabel Loomis Todd and T. W. Higginson, appeared in November 1890, four years after Emily's death. She only had one poem published in her lifetime. #booksky

chuck got one right. and he got it *very* right. this one time. GOP is shutting down US health care for millions of people in order to instead give tax breaks to millionaires.
The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

ivy day (6.oct.1891) - death of charles stewart parnell. The inactivity in james joyce's short story “ivy day in the committee room” shows that, 15 years after parnell's death, nothing was being done about obtaining ireland’s independence. without being overt, joyce was contemptuous. #booksky
