The current regulation denies many disabled veterans the benefits to which federal law entitles them.

Key Points: 
  • The current regulation denies many disabled veterans the benefits to which federal law entitles them.
  • NCLA and CVAF urge VA to do the right thing: amend the rule to reinstate disability benefits due veterans who return to active duty the moment they leave active duty.
  • VA awarded Mr. Buffington substantially lower disability benefits than those to which he was statutorily entitled.
  • Besides, VA’s policy arguments are ill-considered, as disabled veterans already have an incentive to notify VA as soon as their active service ends.
