Ooops!

Veterans Affairs is rushing to ease fears after mistakenly sending letters to veterans' families saying they would lose benefits under sequestration. Stars and Stripes reported the VA told about 6,000 spouses and parents of seriously wounded veterans that their stipends could be cut in January if the automatic spending cuts go forward. That's not true. The White House said all VA programs were protected from sequestration. The department would not tell the newspaper how the mix-up occurred.
