American Legion National Commander Dan K. Wiley released the following statement today:
"Today, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced the department is halting enforcement of the interim final rule published on February 17. Upon the rule’s publication, our staff in the Washington, D.C., office immediately expressed The American Legion’s disapproval to administration officials. A short time later, I issued a public statement strongly disagreeing with the policy and legal justification for the rule’s immediate effect. This decision by Secretary Collins underscores the importance and power of your collective voice as Legionnaires.
“I applaud the Secretary for making this decision, allowing the litigation to proceed in court and for your voices to be heard prior to the rule taking effect. While the public comment period is still open, Legionnaires are encouraged to make their voice heard in the federal register here. We look forward to continuing our work with the Secretary to ensure veterans receive the health care and benefits they have earned and deserve."

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has announced a new regulation that will lead to faster decisions and quicker payments for certain types of survivors’ claims.
Previously, VA was required to address claims for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and Survivors Pension separately, resulting in a longer claims process, as a formal decision was required for both benefits. With this change, effective Feb. 23, VA will pay the higher of the two benefits, which is generally DIC — without delaying the process to develop the lesser benefit.
