Project 2025 Veterans Pay Cuts refers to a proposed plan by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to reduce veterans’ disability compensation payments by 2025. The plan was first proposed in 2017 and has been met with significant opposition from veterans’ groups.
The VA has stated that the pay cuts are necessary to reduce the VA’s budget deficit. However, veterans’ groups argue that the pay cuts would have a devastating impact on veterans, many of whom rely on their disability compensation to pay for basic necessities such as housing, food, and medical care.
