The proposed Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) budget will provide more post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury services to combat veterans and represents the largest single-year increase in VA funding in three decades. The proposed budget will also invest in better technology for VA; provide greater benefits to veterans who are medically retired from service; aid homelessness veterans; ensure the timely adoption of new, comprehensive education benefits that veterans earn through their military service; and fund a pilot program for not-for-profit groups to ensure that veterans at risk of losing their homes have a roof over their heads.
