If that happens, it’s because veterans spoke up. That’s good news — but it’s not enough. This rule raised serious concerns that managing a service-connected condition with medication or treatment could be viewed as “improvement” when evaluating disability ratings. For Coast Guard veterans, following a doctor’s orders should never put earned benefits at risk. Even if the rule is pulled, we need Congress to ensure this approach does not return under another name. Take a minute to send a letter. Ask for oversight. Protect earned benefits. The Coast Guard may be small, but when we stand together, we are powerful. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/safeguarding-coast-guard-veterans-disability-ratings
