Default disabled Vet.

Should the VA include the old gi bill with the new gi bill?
Do you think all Veterans with service connected disability, should have access on post commissary?

Default Re: disabled Vet.

If you mean should anyone who had the old GI bill and got out be able to take advantage of the new program, I'd have to say no. If the answer was yes, then where does it stop... include those who had VEAP, and whatever was before that? You gotta draw a line somewhere... would be like giving those who got out the annual pay raises too.

On question #2, shoudl ALL vets with disability get commisary privledges... I think maybe establishing a percentage... but to say ALL, which would include anyone with 10% disability for the random pain in their big toe they got from stubbing their toe on a tool box while serving.
