STOP DENYING VETERANS BENEFITS

The VA has a program called Compensated Work Therapy (CWT), it provides Vets, who have certain issues, with a therapeutic job in order to help them continue their lives and prepare for work in the private sector. The Dayton VA has consistently denied Vets this benefit via employees not doing there jobs or finding reason to deny the Vet access to this benefit. EXAMPLE: The Bedford Ma VA has over 800 of these positions, the Houston VA has over 500 but the Dayton VA has only 25 jobs. For the past 6 years they have had only 8-10 jobs. These people consistently refuse to provide these benefits! As a result of my protests against these denials I have been ostracized and singled out for complete denial of anything other than Physical healthcare and it is time these people provided these benefits to America’s Vets. With so many returning war Vets this problem is going to be astronomical. I need your help to end these denials and fix this problem.

Why is this important?

The VA has a program called Compensated Work Therapy (CWT), it provides Vets, who have certain issues, with a therapeutic job in order to help them continue their lives and prepare for work in the private sector. While Congress and the IRS has provided tax free exemptions for these positions what good does it do if the VA will not provide the jobs so Vets can take advantage of these provisions? The Dayton VA has consistently denied Vets this benefit via employees not doing there jobs or finding reason to deny the Vet access to this benefit. EXAMPLE: The Bedford Ma VA has over 800 of these positions, the Houston VA has over 500 but the Dayton VA has only 25 jobs. For the past 6 years they have had only 8-10 jobs. These people consistently refuse to provide these benefits!
