DAV applauds Secretary Collins’ decision to halt the implementation of VA’s rule regarding the impact of medication on evaluation ratings for service-connected disabilities. We appreciate the Secretary listening to and acting on the concerns of those who have served and sacrificed for this nation. No veteran should ever have to worry that taking medications they need due to their illnesses and injuries could result in the reduction of their benefits. We look forward to working with the Secretary to ensure that veterans receive all the health care and benefits they’ve earned now and in the future.
