Went to the VA in Dallas yesterday for some medical appointments. The DAV was open but since the computers in DC and Waco were off line they couldn't answer my questions. Also, the VBA office was closed for the duration of the shutdown so filing applications for disability and related stuff there is shutdown. No real affect on me as all I had were some questions but irritating none the less. These offices are not staffed by government employees yet the government shutdown effectively closed or curtailed their activities.
There is not shutdown. 83% of the government is still up and running. This is just punishment and coercion in an attempt to whip the people back in line. I am willing to bet more money is being spent on enforcing what little has closed than was spent to keep it running.
I now hear that if the Shut-Down continues......will not be getting VA Disability Check. That will DEFINITELY effect me and thousands of others.....many on this Forum. Coupled with the threat of not getting Social Security check.....I am getting VERY, VERY concerned.

If the 17th gets here, I don't believe that the ENTIRE government will shut down. We simply wont be borrowing the 20%-30% of what we spend everyday. The government will still be taking in normal tax revenues. There should be no reason for retirement checks to not go out unless someone is just being spiteful.
That is how I understand it, but I am no expert.
This has me concerned as well.... I'm already not getting my VA check for school and then add on the possibility of not having my disability check. Basically I wont be able to pay any of my bills.. Then what?I now hear that if the Shut-Down continues......will not be getting VA Disability Check. That will DEFINITELY effect me and thousands of others.....many on this Forum.
