I am recent veteran from the USAF that got separation pay via VSP. When I received my rating I was notified that Uncle Sam wants his money back. How are the two even related? What does a members right to pursue and get VA monetary benefits have to due with the governments choice to implement the VSP program?? I had no idea it was a loan. The idea of punishing a member for pursuing VA benefits is bad form.

Shame on you VA!!!! I will writing to my congress reps on this one. Any ideas on how to combat this forum?

I can't spell worth a shit sorry

VSP was part of the USAF force shaping program last year. They offered what was basically a severance for junior military officer's whose career fields were over manned. What they failed to explain is that if you pursued a VA disability rating that resulted in $$$, Uncle Sam was taking his money back. So, it would be like a company giving you a X-mas bonus, then asking for that bonus back if you filed a work comp claim. Just a slimey, and I wondering if illegal, way to get their money bank.

Thanks for information Gunny and to the person above.
