Apologies sent to
To the editor,
The community of Warm Springs.
First of all, I'd like to apologize to
the Greene family for not being able
to attend the funeral to pay my re
spects. I don't know what gives the court
system the right to approve or dis
approve a man the right to attend and
pay respect to the family at a funeral
of a well respected elder in our
community.
I think that the people of our res
ervation need to take a close look at
the court and judicial system in the
correctional facility.
Bad enough I'm in jail because of
a man coming to my house causing
problems. On several occasions was
asked to leave and stay away. Then,
got beat down when he wouldn' t stay
away.
I ended up getting the raw deal out
of it with several months incarcera
tion for protecting myself and my
property. The man should have never
got out of his car trying to be all
macho.

Another topic is my employment.
How can a man make a respectful
living working hard to better his life
when the correctional facility cut me
off cold?
Since I've started working I've
never missed a day of work that
wasn't excused until I ended up in
this place. I've never so much as
called in sick or miss work on acount
of a funeral and I was late a couple of
times since I started working over a
year ago and those were only by a
few minutes.
Its depressing knowing that I'm
controlled by the judicial system
again. After straightening my life
out. In a few more days it'll be twenty
four months since I quit drinking.
Isn't the Tribe suppose to be en
couraging employment rather than
cutting them down cold? I can un
derstand it if I was still living my old
lifestyle. But I'm still striving to better
my life.
. Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
Tim Wainanwit

Certificate-No Benefits
Disability Compensation
(Service Connected Disability)
The Department of Veterans Af
fairs (DVA) disability compensation
program provides Veterans with
monthly financial compensation and
benefits if "Disabled as a result of
Injury, Disease or Wounds incurred
in or Aggravated while on Active
Military Service", or for certain con
ditions which may have developed
after release from Active Duty within
a prescribed time period.
Benefits are authorized based on
the severity of the Veterans "Claimed"
disability. If the Service Connected
(SC) Disability is evaluated and an
award of Service Connection is
granted by the , various additional
benefits, entitlements and allowances
may be authorized depending on the
level of the award and the type of
disability.

fect Veterans DVA Compensation:
Military Retired Pay: The payment

the receipt of Military Retired Pay ? A

lished for Military Retirees. This le
gal provision is the only restriction
on VA Compensation for Federal
Retirees and only applies to Military
Retirees. The advantage of a Military
Retiree in receipt of VA Compensa
tion is VA Compensation is "Tax
Free", therefore reducing the Retiree's
Tax base on Military Retired Pay.
Disability Severance Pay: Payment
of VA Compensation and Military
disability Severance Pay for the same
Medical Condition or Disability is
prohibited. DVA Compensation can
be withheld until all Severance Pay
received is "Re-payed" to the US
Government.
Voluntary Separation Incentive
(VSI): The Veterans annual VSI pay
ment will be reduced by the amount
equal to the amount of VA Compen
sation paid for the same period.
Special Separation Benefit (SSB):
DVA Compensation will be withheld
in full until the amount of SSB has
been recovered by the VA.
ReserveNational Guard Service:
If the Veteran is a Active Member of
the Selected Reserve or National
Guard, VA Compensation will be with
held at the rate of one day of pay for
each drill period served. Addition
ally, DVA Compensation is not pay
able while serving in a "Full Time"
on Active Duty status.
Eligibility:
The Veteran may be entitled to
VA Disability Compensation for any
Medical Condition or Injury that was
incurred in or aggravated by Active
