This is a thread about FAA investigation and enforcement of those who failed to declare VA disability benefits.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with failing to disclose VA benefits, resulting in investigation for your failure to disclose, which makes it irrelevant to this thread.

If you have medical conditions which warrant a special issuance, then you have medical conditions which warrant special issuance, regardless of when or where those events occurred. Your special issuance has nothing to do with VA benefits, which makes it irrelevant to this thread. Further, your special issuance is no whitch hunt: it's the result of a determination that you have medical conditions which warrant special issuance, because without that, you are medically inelligible to hold FAA airman medical certification.

Which is does not involve a failure to disclose VA benefits on your airman medical application, not were you investigated for such failure, which makes this irrelevant to the thread.

All irrelevant to this thread, and nothing whatsoever to do with military benefits, or the investigation thereof, or the failure to declare those benefits on your airman medical application.

Which does not make it so, nor is it relevant to the thread.

Your situation is unfortunate. You bring it up a lot, at great length. That does not make it relevant.

This is a very predictable thread.

Enforcement action reported against a few lawbreakers.

On cue.... anti military type carpet bombs thread with broad brush accusations of fraud, subterfuge, dishonesty, etc.

23 out of 111 posts on this thread. Fully 20% of the posts are long winded rants painting service members in a bad light.



No mention whatsoever of the witch hunt letters the FAA sent to ALL VETERANS with service connected injuries accusing them of failing to disclose..... despite the fact that 99% of the veterans had already shared their VA health records with the FAA.

JohnBurke you have very clearly shown your true colors.

How the hell is the FAA, grounding me, and making me prove a negative on something that wouldn't have been 8500 reportable beyond 3 years not a witch hunt?

I reported everything that was required to be reported, and I was grounded and out of work until I got my Congresswoman involved.

Over a scar on my forehead.
No LOC. Just a scar. Documented on my MEPS physical in 1996. "Cut by flying glass in car accident"

40 years time late "you can't work and we cant give you a timeline or path aside from a third party attesting that you didn't lose consciousness in a car accident when you were a small child"

How the funk is that not a witch hunt.

I've been through a ton of surgeries. FAA knows about them all but grounded over 10 stitches when I was 3?

Not a witch hunt against veterans?

You know what? I'd rather have 0% VA disability if I could get a normal spine, my original face and the ability to have children back.

But I can't.

And being treated worse than a criminal by the FAA is the reward.

Take my accident. Turn it into an accused theft.

"We belive that you stole a dirtbike when you were 17. We have no proof that you did, no witnesses, nothing but prove you didn't steal one or we will remove you livelihood and possibly give you jail time"

That would NEVER hold up in court.

But that's exactly the sort of kangaroo court crap they are doing to us.

You hate veterans. Good for you. That's allowed in America.

But I am also free to think you are a jerk for it.

Reach out to your Congressman. If you’ve already done so, try again. November is closing in.

I'm back at work. But just waiting for the next FAA letter.

That’s not what you said. You said the “miltary”

I don’t mean to be an a$$, but you know there is a difference between the DoD and the VA. Right?

Are you sure you understand the proximate cause of this?

I don’t think you understand the difference between the “ military” and the VA. Seems like a bit of confusion here.

I’m not a huge Wikipedia fan, but I think they will cover the basics for you.

Yes the VA is not the DoD.

Although in the eyes of congress their funding gets lumped together, ie big requirements for the VA can detract from what's available for DoD, practically speaking. So defense planners need to consider the fiscal impact on future DoD sustainemnt before commiting ground forces in foriegn wars. Although the Pols tend not to listen or care.

None of your experience has any bearing on letters of investigation for veterans recieving benefits, which is what this thread is about.

Not sure what a discussion of budget generation has anything to do with the fact that it is clear JohnBurke [MENTION=42456]JohnBurke[/MENTION] has no clue about the very basic facts of this discussion. Referring to the DoD and the VA synonymously on more than one occasion demonstrates a total ignorance of what is actually being debated on his part. Kills any credibility he has for making even a good faith argument and it seems he simply wants to troll and argue to make himself feel better. I dont know why he would want to portray himself as such an antogonist to the thousands and thousands of verterans claiming VA disability based on the actions of a misicule percentage of the population. IDK, maybe he got kicked out of MEPS for acne or something; maybe a dude in the Army stole his girlfriend or took his lunch money?
