Select Question to hear Response

Respondent:

George Allen

1. What is your position on establishing a budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a separate and independent budget from all other government budgets?

2. How would you ensure that the Department of Veterans Affairs receives sufficient funding to consistently provide for the Health Care and Benefits of our nations military and retirees?

3. Women are an important part of our military. What do you think should be the role of women serving in combat?

4. How would you ensure that Congress authorizes and fully funds legislation that allows all disabled military retirees (regardless of percentage of disability) to receive their full military retirement  pay and disability compensation without offset?

5. Our Active Duty, Reserves and National Guard are assigned to duties throughout the world.  Many units have been required to do multiple assignments in hazardous areas. What would you do to ease the current burdens on our troops?

6. Veteran's service organizations provide veterans, their dependents and survivors aid in the preparation and prosecution of claims for benefits free of charge. Few, if any, require the assistance of a lawyer. What is your position on permitting private for profit attorneys to practice at the initial claim level in the VA regional offices and be paid from the earned benefits of the men and women who served our country?
