This is a thread about FAA investigation and enforcement of those who failed to declare VA disability benefits.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with failing to disclose VA benefits, resulting in investigation for your failure to disclose, which makes it irrelevant to this thread.
If you have medical conditions which warrant a special issuance, then you have medical conditions which warrant special issuance, regardless of when or where those events occurred. Your special issuance has nothing to do with VA benefits, which makes it irrelevant to this thread. Further, your special issuance is no whitch hunt: it's the result of a determination that you have medical conditions which warrant special issuance, because without that, you are medically inelligible to hold FAA airman medical certification.
Which is does not involve a failure to disclose VA benefits on your airman medical application, not were you investigated for such failure, which makes this irrelevant to the thread.
All irrelevant to this thread, and nothing whatsoever to do with military benefits, or the investigation thereof, or the failure to declare those benefits on your airman medical application.
Which does not make it so, nor is it relevant to the thread.
Your situation is unfortunate. You bring it up a lot, at great length. That does not make it relevant.

And yet
They wanted a letter from someone else in the car proving I never lost consciousness.
dad: deceased (2017)
Sister: deceased (1982)
brother: brain damage from accident (hit on his side by dui running red light)
Me: unreliable witness because I was 3. And subject of investigation.
Mom: not going to make an elderly woman with PTSD issues relive the worst day of her life under oath.

This is a very predictable thread.
Enforcement action reported against a few lawbreakers.
On cue.... anti military type carpet bombs thread with broad brush accusations of fraud, subterfuge, dishonesty, etc.
23 out of 111 posts on this thread. Fully 20% of the posts are long winded rants painting service members in a bad light.
No mention whatsoever of the witch hunt letters the FAA sent to ALL VETERANS with service connected injuries accusing them of failing to disclose..... despite the fact that 99% of the veterans had already shared their VA health records with the FAA.
JohnBurke you have very clearly shown your true colors.

How the hell is the FAA, grounding me, and making me prove a negative on something that wouldn't have been 8500 reportable beyond 3 years not a witch hunt?
I reported everything that was required to be reported, and I was grounded and out of work until I got my Congresswoman involved.
Over a scar on my forehead.
No LOC. Just a scar. Documented on my MEPS physical in 1996. "Cut by flying glass in car accident"
40 years time late "you can't work and we cant give you a timeline or path aside from a third party attesting that you didn't lose consciousness in a car accident when you were a small child"
How the funk is that not a witch hunt.
I've been through a ton of surgeries. FAA knows about them all but grounded over 10 stitches when I was 3?
Not a witch hunt against veterans?
You know what? I'd rather have 0% VA disability if I could get a normal spine, my original face and the ability to have children back.
But I can't.
And being treated worse than a criminal by the FAA is the reward.
Take my accident. Turn it into an accused theft.
"We belive that you stole a dirtbike when you were 17. We have no proof that you did, no witnesses, nothing but prove you didn't steal one or we will remove you livelihood and possibly give you jail time"
That would NEVER hold up in court.
But that's exactly the sort of kangaroo court crap they are doing to us.
You hate veterans. Good for you. That's allowed in America.
But I am also free to think you are a jerk for it.

Yes, it was. It was an internal fraud investigation. The VA reached out to other sources, incuding the FAA, to provide documentation. The FAA declined to do so. The VA took legal action, against which the FAA eventually complied. This has been discussed at length on this site. The search engine works.
That’s not what you said. You said the “miltary”
I don’t mean to be an a$$, but you know there is a difference between the DoD and the VA. Right?
Are you sure you understand the proximate cause of this?

Cherry pick if you like. I've written a lot more on the subject and provided links, if you'd used the search engine.
The FAA refused the military request and only complied upon legal action. Once that avenue was open, however, the FAA discovered a recurring theme of former military personnel not declaring benefits, as required on the medical application.
The FAA has also done the same with other benefits, undeclared, outside of the military. It's been going on for a number of years, and has been big news in the aviation community. Why do you not know this?

I don’t think you understand the difference between the “ military” and the VA. Seems like a bit of confusion here.

I’m not a huge Wikipedia fan, but I think they will cover the basics for you.

Although in the eyes of congress their funding gets lumped together, ie big requirements for the VA can detract from what's available for DoD, practically speaking. So defense planners need to consider the fiscal impact on future DoD sustainemnt before commiting ground forces in foriegn wars. Although the Pols tend not to listen or care.

Yes the VA is not the DoD.
