Care and benefits for Veterans strengthened by $182 billion VA budget - VAntage Point

RP members, I hope the VA uses this budget increase to get some of these folks who have been waiting for treatment or decisions on disability and other claims. They shouldn't need to cry poor mouth this year if the increase is used to its advantage.

The administration’s FY 2017 budget proposes $182.3 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Funding will continue to support the largest transformation in VA history; expand access to timely, high-quality health care and benefits; and advance efforts to end homelessness among Veterans. The following fact sheet summarizes the VA’s FY 2017 budget proposal. The full budget will be posted on va.gov at 1:30 p.m. EST.
