WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., said Friday she has dropped a plan to cut benefits from some disabled veterans.
Bachmann, the head of the House Tea Party caucus and one of the most conservative members of Congress, still lists on her Web site a freeze on spending for veterans' healthcare, a proposal that has angered veterans groups, The Army Times reported. But a proposed cut in VA benefits for disabled veterans also collecting Social Security Disability payments is no longer listed there.
