Merely eliminating $3 from the current $15.54 per round trip shows little improvement. All Veterans and Wounded Warriors who travel to a VAMC for service-connected medical issues, regardless of the distance traveled, should receive a mileage reimbursement at the same rate as members of Congress and Federal Employees, currently 50.5 cents per mile. This means eliminating a minimum mileage standard so that any travel greater than 1 mile qualifies for the reimbursement.... 38662@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:35:49 EDT
