The new debt deal was signed and the government has to make billions of dollars in cuts to government spending. Multiple sources have stated that these cuts will not affect veteran's benefits, but I am a bit skeptical. The main reason that I am not so sure that this will not affect benefits is that the government is likely to stop hiring new positions, and we have already seen hiring freezes within the VA. There are millions of new benefit claims each year and that number is growing. If they cannot hire more people to compensate for all of these new claims it will make each claim take longer to approve.
