Once again, the explanation makes no sense.
We are not denying the fact that increased compensation is being granted; that is certainly the case. However, there is also no denying that the government continues to appeal a decision in court on veterans’ cases. That is also a fact.
Let me go back to our amendment.
If the amendment is not passed, the current practices will continue. The government would rather continue to force veterans with permanent medical conditions—we are not talking about a condition that may change—to provide information about that condition every year under the excuse that some may move and they would need to be contacted to confirm some information. That makes no sense to me.
If we want to put an end to this insult of asking veterans to justify the loss of a leg year after year, then this is the amendment that we have to pass.
