The rule will require the VA to determine disability ratings based on veterans\u2019 improvement with medication, rather than on their underlying conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Trump Administration has already put veterans\u2019 services at risk through reckless mass layoffs at the VA \u2013 including the VA suicide hotline staff \u2013 and this new rule could further reduce support for disabled veterans through drastic benefits cuts,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThis is a slap in the face to the men and women who served our nation. The VA needs to immediately overturn this harmful rule and keep our promise to our veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has consistently worked to make sure veterans have access to the full benefits and services they have earned. Earlier this month, she joined her colleagues in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2026\/02\/10\/rosen-joins-resolution-to-overturn-trump-administration-rule-ending-life-saving-reproductive-care-for-veterans\/\">resolution<\/a> to overturn another extreme Trump Administration rule ending abortion counseling and reproductive care for veterans, including victims of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk. Last year, Senator Rosen introduced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/12\/19\/rosen-blackburn-introduce-bill-to-cut-red-tape-for-providers-to-take-care-of-americas-servicemembers-and-veterans\/\">bipartisan bill<\/a> to bolster access to health care for servicemembers and veterans and help eliminate delays in patient care, as well as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/11\/06\/ahead-of-veterans-day-rosen-and-mccormick-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-address-veterans-mental-health-needs\/\">bipartisan bill<\/a> to increase the availability of mental health services for veterans. Senator Rosen has also been working to pass her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/07\/09\/rosen-cortez-masto-introduce-bill-to-support-veterans-exposed-to-radiation-and-toxins-while-serving-in-nevada\/\"><em>FORGOTTEN Veterans Act<\/em><\/a> to ensure servicemembers and veterans who served at classified locations within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) since 1951 have the same presumption of exposure as the Department of Energy employees they served alongside and are able to prove that they served there, so that they can finally get the PACT Act benefits they deserve following exposure to radiation and toxins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Trump VA Rule Would Lower Veterans\u2019 Disability Rating If Medication Improves Symptoms WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) called on the Trump Administration to overturn a new VA rule that affects how the Department of Veterans Affairs determines disability compensation, which could result in decreased benefits for disabled veterans.
