H.R. 6047: The "Expansion" That Bills Disabled Veterans

Increases A&A by $10K/yr & enhances DIC COLA (good!)
Pays for it by removing VA loan fee exemption from vets rated 10-70% (bad!)

If you're 10-70% & refinance after Aug 1, 2026:
$9,900 fee on $300K loan (you pay $0 now)

Cost to properly fund both groups? $4.5B over 10 years = 6 days of Pentagon spending

All 3 major VSOs opposed the funding mechanism at Dec 3 hearing
