Vets’ disability benefits for tinnitus, mental health issues may change

Proposed changes to the Department of Veterans Affairs disability ratings system will mean lower payouts for veterans with sleep apnea and tinnitus in the future but higher payouts for veterans facing mental health challenges like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
The changes are part of a months-long review of the department’s Schedule for Rating Disabilities, which governs how VA staffers evaluate and compensate veterans with service-connected injuries.

No veterans would lose benefits under the plan, but veterans applying for disability benefits in the future could see a more difficult path to payouts.

"We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause." -- Ronald Reagan

Fort Belvoir Tree Lighting Ceremony
Fort Belvoir Tree Lighting Ceremony

Fort Belvoir welcomed Santa and the Holiday season at its annual tree lighting ceremony last night. COL Greenberg, Garrison Commander escorted Santa to the ceremony, riding a fire truck with sirens blaring announcing his arrival. Caroling, hot chocolate, the count-down, and the tree lighting were all part of the fun for the large crowd gathered for this festive occasion. After the tree lighting, Specker Field House was the fun place to be with bounce houses, food and drink, and photos with Santa for the kids (in all of us)!

April's Last Wednesday provided update on National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA). Over 40 attendees attended the Chapter's Last Wednesday Social on 25 April at the Fort Belvoir golf Course Club House. This month's attendees were treated to a update on the construction of the NMUSA by SMA (R) Ken Preston, AUSA's VP for NCO and Soldier Programs. SMA Preston also sits on the Board of Directors for the Army Historical Foundation which is building the museum. Additionally, the Chapter acknowledged the contributions of departing BoD members, thanking them for their service, along with welcoming its newest BoD members. Overall, it was a fun social event punctuated by good topical information, networking, food and drink. FYI, there will not be a Last Wednesday in May. Please consider attending the Chapter's Scholarship Awards Luncheon on 1 June at the Hilton Springfield, we would love to see you there!
