If Trump Is REALLY Interested In Combating Fraud, Then He Needs To Go After The Thousands Of Veterans Who Are Filing Fraudulent Claims With The VA

[Hellokitty]

He deserves his disability payments. The simple fact is that thousands of veterans are filing false claims and stealing from the system.

It is not fair to the veterans who truly deserve it.

How about we stopping funding illegals and other countries problems and increase veterans benefits?

Just when you think the Demtard threads couldn't get any more retarded they find a way.

This isn't fraud, simp? Why can't veterans get it up anymore?? --

In 2024, 1 in every 10 disabled vets — 595,589 of them — held an approved claim for “penile deformity” with a “loss of erectile power,” VA figures show.

Face it....you are dishonest. You don't want to face the truth that many veterans are taking advantage of the system.

How about you understand all the facts first, MAGA simp?

That's obviously too difficult for you.

This is the REAL fraud that Trump needs to do something about.....not the nonsense that he and other Republicans have complained about with Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc.,

Thousands of military veterans have been filing fraudulent VA claims for years.....and 99.99% of them get away with it. These veterans get away with it because The Department Of Veteran Affairs does not have enough investigators to combat this disability fraud.

In some cases, military veterans have gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars, some over $1 million dollars, in disability payments from the VA over several decades.

From the Washington Post. --

VA’s $193 billion disability program — one of the biggest line items in the federal budget — has become a rich target for fraudsters, according to a Washington Post investigation. Each year, the agency’s inspector general opens dozens of criminal cases into veterans like Kilpatrick who are suspected of faking injuries or illnesses for money.

But former officials said they suspect those cases represent only a fraction of the fraud that occurs. They said VA has failed to reckon with the full scope of disability fraud — as seen in videos The Post obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the government — and allowed it to become entrenched and endemic at the expense of veterans with legitimate needs.

“The system is vulnerable to manipulation,” said Michael Missal, who served as VA’s inspector general for nearly nine years until January, when President Donald Trump fired him and 16 other independent federal watchdogs. “There’s a high risk that people can either lie about their condition or exaggerate their condition.”


Here is one of the worst cases of disability fraud that I read about. This guy claimed to be paralyzed, but he wasn't. He got away with it for 3 years. --

During visits to Atlanta VA Medical Center, the Iraq War veteran arrived in a wheelchair, claiming multiple sclerosis had paralyzed his arms and legs. By the time he turned 35, the onetime athlete said he could barely move from the neck down, leaving him dependent on others to eat, dress and bathe, according to court records.

Obligated to help a former soldier in need, the Department of Veterans Affairs began paying Kilpatrick $7,900 a month in tax-free disability benefits in 2015, the records show. The federal government also gave him $20,000 for a specially equipped Jeep Cherokee to make it easier for his wife to take him to medical appointments.

The hoax lasted for three years and might have continued indefinitely, if not for a whistleblower who sent VA proof that Kilpatrick was lying: videos of the Army veteran backflipping on a trampoline, prancing around a sports field like a ballerina and swan diving into a playground ball pit.


Here is another egregious case of disability fraud. This guy claimed to be blind, but he wasn't. He got away with it for years. --

VA raised Hoover’s disability rating to 100 percent and declared him permanently unable to work, which boosted his compensation to more than $3,800 a month. The government also enrolled him in blindness rehabilitation courses, training him how to navigate obstacles with a long white cane.

But Hoover had faster ways to get around. In January 2012 — the same month that VA classified him as completely disabled for blindness — he walked into the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to renew his driver’s license, records show.

He passed the eye test with 20/40 vision while wearing corrective lenses. Unaware that VA considered Hoover blind, the state of Florida gave him a new license plus perks in gratitude for his military service, including free disabled veteran plates for his vehicle.

From that point forward, according to the documents, Hoover claimed he was blind when he visited VA for medical appointments. Meanwhile, he cashed his disability checks and bought expensive toys, including an 11-foot boat, a three-wheeled motorcycle and a motorized canoe. Then he bragged on Facebook about how much fun he was having.

so you support trump going after fraud but dont think hes going far enough??

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Second and third that!

Just for you, MAGA imbecile. --

Even more pathetic. This fraudster is still receiving VA benefits!! --

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

so you support trump going after fraud but dont think hes going far enough??

Trump is going after fake fraud and ignoring real fraud.....like these military veterans faking their disabilities.

 

[Seymour Flops]

You don't have to worry about....because Trump and his cronies are so ******* incompetent, they will make stupid cuts to the VA instead of addressing this problem.

So you plan is to complain about VA fraud, but if Trump addresses it, to say they are "stupid cuts."

You guys are as see-through as Kendall Jenner's dress.

 

[progressive hunter]

no such thing as fake fraud,,

its either fraud or its not,,

you should write a letter to your congressmen to address this injustice,,

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

So you plan is to complain about VA fraud, but if Trump addresses it, to say they are "stupid cuts."

Wrong again, simp. Trump is just randomly cutting thousands of jobs at the VA....he is not addressing this problem.

If Trump was truly interested in reducing fraud, then he would increase the number of VA investigators so that more of this fraud can be uncovered. That would actually save money.

Maybe even you are smart enough to understand that....but probably not.

That's obviously too difficult for you.

You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you. Claiming thousands are defrauding the Government simply because they availed themselves of allowed disabilities is so lame. You aren't a doctor, and you don't know the veterans involved so have no idea about what is and isn't fraud in these cases.

 

[Independent thinker]

Wrong again, simp.

And now that a MAGA imbecile such as yourself is confronted with massive fraud, you have nothing to say.

Of course. What a hypocrite.

For the record, I am against all fraud. But, you guys DO say whenver we talk of fraud, that fraud is not a problem because it's such a small amount.

That is fraud, simp. You're full of shit.

Are you one of these 595,000 vets also having trouble getting it up? --

In 2024, 1 in every 10 disabled vets — 595,589 of them — held an approved claim for “penile deformity” with a “loss of erectile power,” VA figures show.

as a matter of fact, I have been impotent since 2002 or there abouts, but I never claimed it to the VA since mine is caused by diabetes and not my time in service.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

No, I just showed you massive fraud....and you have very little to say about it.

I guess a racist like you is only interested when it's fraud committed by minorities and illegal aliens.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

as a matter of fact, I have been impotent since 2002 or there abouts, but I never claimed it to the VA since mine is caused by diabetes and not my time in service.

Well....I'm sure the other 595,000 were completely honest.

LOL....have some self-respect. It's obvious that most of these people are lying.

 

[Independent thinker]

There is massive fraud in all government programs. We've been telling you that for years and yet the left's response is always that fraud is a miniscule amount. Doesn't it seem to reason that if there is massive fraud in this area then there is massive fraud in many government agencies and benefit programs?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

No, I just showed you massive fraud....and you have very little to say about it.

I guess a racist like you is only interested when it's fraud committed by minorities and illegal aliens.

No, you did not show fraud, people making claims and being approved is not fraud,

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

There is massive fraud in all government programs. We've been telling you that for years and yet the left's response is always that fraud is a miniscule amount.

That is true for the programs that you MAGAs whine about the most. There is not nearly as much fraud in Medicare and Social Security as there is at the VA.

Doesn't it seem to reason that if there is massive fraud in this area then there is massive fraud in many government agencies and benefit programs?

No, because the VA is way more generous with money than other government agencies.....which the articles that I posted discuss.

 

[citygator]

There is no group that benefits more from socialism than veterans. It’s a fine profession but no one who gets the obscene benefits of ex-military should ever attack big gov.

They have guaranteed lifetime pensions and comprehensive healthcare benefits that adds up to millions of dollars over a lifetime. It creates the ability to retire much earlier than in the civilian world, with many starting their civilian careers in their forties already with a military pension already in hand on top of their social security payments.

Go socialism! To be a fraudster on top of that should result in being held under a prison.

Yep. This is something which has pissed me off.

When I was retiring from 20 years of active duty, we retirees were required to attend week-long training on how to adapt to civilian life.

The classes were helpful. However, one class was dedicated to how to apply for disability. The instructor taught how to game the system. I could have used his tactics and be making a lot of money right now, but my father raised me to be honest in all things.

The system is definitely being abused. I've seen vets receiving one hundred percent disability who aren't even close to being disabled.

In my opinion, 100 percent means you can't walk or are paralyzed in some way or debilitated by PTSD. I know some guys who are debilitated by PTSD. A friend of mine came back from Afghanistan and there was not enough alcohol or meth on the planet to help him. He is the most constantly pissed off person I have ever seen.

I've been going through lot of PTSD counseling myself. I was so sick of the military after I retired, I avoided the VA like the plague.

Big mistake.
