There’s a public comment period but I think our time is probably better spent contacting our representatives and senators in Congress. I have zero faith in public comments as they seem to be completely disregarded.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

But if you have the time, do both!
What this rule means:
VA examiners will rate a disability based on how it actually affects the veteran in regular daily life, which includes any benefit the veteran gets from treatment, including medication.

Just a reminder that TWO MONTHS have now gone by since the deadline for releasing ALL of the Epstein files.
Trump's corrupt DOJ has released less than half, and those that were released were illegally redacted to protect pedophiles and their enablers. (Victims names and images were exposed.)

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

So it is crystal clear to everyone that this communication is being given verbally to specific offices only because they know this goes against our own policies and is almost certainly illegal on some level.
