No. There will be effects. I can say that with absolute certainty. There will be immediate effects on veterans. We know that already, because in April, the bureau of pensions advocates cancelled plans for 300 hearings because the workforce was cut by 44%.
These cuts mean that veterans will have to wait a few more months to appear before the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. We hear that there won't be any cuts and that veterans will have the same services as before. Well, I'm sorry, but that's not the reality.
