The recent VA workforce cuts are deeply concerning, especially given the unprecedented lack of transparency surrounding these decisions. Veterans and their families deserve clear answers on how these reductions will impact their care and benefits. Earlier this month, DAV, PVA, and VFW released The Independent Budget, outlining the resources needed to properly support veterans—cuts like these move us in the wrong direction. We are calling for greater transparency to ensure veterans are not left in the dark about changes that affect their earned care. DAV remains committed to working with VA and policymakers to protect the care and benefits veterans have earned.
