I’m retired now, but I expect my pension and VA medical benefits to be gutted under Trump.
There is a little more effort required to fuck with already granted compensation benefits than there is new claims. The medical care, and possibly the pension, may be easier to get rid of. Major budget cuts for the hospitals would be plenty enough to ruin all the past years of progress.
Best bet is to make sure your dav/veteran group membership is up to date for the inevitable lawsuits, and for a good direct news sources on any changes that may be made. And also avoid making any compensation claims after any big law changes that make things worse.
