[@lisam4503]

All Veterans should unite to fight it! I am not justifying criminality but its scientifically supported certain things that happen in service negatively impact mental health and can lead to violent and other crime. No matter where you look the mental health industry largely misses the mark and even law enforcement and the courts do. Should someone be losing their disability payment because of mental health damage created in the line of duty? I don't even believe they belong in prison!! I believe they belong in an appropriate mental health facility. I have been fighting the VA for PTSD and keep getting turned down even though they comp me for an injury caused by an assault that happened in the military. Just provided them two letters supporting it from two different counselors from outside the VA. Still denied! Our system is broken!

[@brnjones9]

Truly broken. I'm rated for PTSD. But my broken arm, with limited rotation on active duty, no no. The records, xrays, surgery were not good enough.

I went to the VA and they kept me overnight then released me after 24 hrs. and told me to take vitamins and call the AA thing. Well.. I wasn't happy so I went home, got drunk and drunk dialed the Washington DC VA line. I think a couple times that night, I can't really remember but I tell you the next day I had all kinds of help. Two years ago this week.. Wahoo. There are avenues to use within the system but it can take a lot to figure it out.

If you're on Social Security, SSDI, or SSI and are imprisoned you are now taken care of by the State, or Federal system and will no longer be provided for by the SSA, plus whatever else rights will be taken.

[@johnmaclean6137]

I am a huge fan of your channel. Love the topics and I have a topic suggestion for you that may directly impact you. The new administration is signaling cuts in government and a possible Reduction in Federal Workforce. Veterans / Disabled Veterans have certain protections during a RIF according to OPM guidelines. I would love to see a video that explore how 30% or mpre disabled Vet status or jusr Vet status factors into a federal agency RIF. What rights Disabled Vets have and what to do if you think your RIF rights as a disabled Vet were violated.

So, filing VA form 21-0788, plus personal statements of hardship might help soften the financial hardship for dependents. Or is that also for the Veteran's own personal financial hardship? Asking for a friend.

[@TheCivDiv]

Dependents only. The veteran doesn’t matter anymore as they will be incarcerated. So the disability payments is to solely benefit the requesting dependent. - Clay

[@angelajohnson4666]

I don’t have any dependents. Where is all this stuff coming from?

[@meealy8440]

My story is related to the topic. I don’t think it’s fair but I know a guy who went to prison twice. He didn’t finish his obligation and the Army kicked him out. Now 20 something years later this guy is awarded 100% with back pay. I think when Elon & Romswammy, ….. try and take the money from Vets who did their obligation they should start there. I’m like if you didn’t finish your time in service you shouldn’t be able to get VA disability. Just some food for thought!

Felonies and incarceration - Clay

[@lisam4503]

I believe anything that lands you in jail or prison for more than 90 days.

[@raybdavisjr]

When you get out of prison your benefits are not automatically reinstated; they will call you in for a C&P exam and attempt to reduce your rating. If you stay out of trouble and deal well with fellow inmates the VA will say your PTSD is better. Or your knee is better, the prison record says you exercised in the yard without problems. Any reason to reduce.

That's what social security already does,doing some research about incarcerated veterans ,prisons do not have veteran Drs,and do not transport veterans out to veteran Drs ,reason they don't have veteran Dr and services for veterans ,is that the prison looses money ,in other words the prison looses money because there own prison Drs don't make the money,themselves .
