‘Tortured logic’: Biden admin looks to declare more black veterans mentally disabled because… ‘equity’ (bizpacreview.com)

 

More black veterans need to file for — and receive — mental health disability checks, because, according to President Biden’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), being black and declared mentally disabled is a more “equitable” way to treat our nation’s warriors.

“A higher percentage of Black Veterans currently receive disability compensation benefits than white Veterans for mental health conditions (21.7% vs. 12.7%). On average, Black Veterans also apply for disability compensation at higher rates and receive slightly higher disability ratings from VA than white Veterans,” the VA explained. “However, Black Veterans have lower grant rates than white Veterans for mental health conditions (70.3% vs. 76.0%).”
