WASHINGTON - Congressman Bruce Westerman joined 65 Republican Colleagues in sending a letter to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough regarding their false statements against the Limit, Save, Grow Act. 

“While House Republicans are working to protect veterans who risked their lives in service to our country, far-left Democrats are using them as political pawns. In a press release on April 21st, the VA purposefully spread partisan, dishonest information about the Limit, Save, Grow Act to mislead veterans to believe their benefits would be cut. House Republicans have always prioritized veterans in our budgets to ensure the men and women who have served our country have the access to the care and benefits they were promised.

“I joined Rep. Clyde and more than 60 of my Republican colleagues to respectfully demand the immediate removal of the VA’s April 21st press release that contained misinformation about cuts to veterans’ benefits in the Limit, Save, Grow Act. No where in the legislation does it cut their benefits, and I will not stand idle while the Biden Administration politicizes the VA and spreads false claims. I urge Secretary McDonough to move quickly and retract the dishonest press release and issue an apology to our nation’s veterans for spreading false information about their benefits,” Congressman Westerman said.
