ORLANDO, Fla. —
The family of a World War II veteran is fighting the Department of Veteran Affairs over their father’s benefits.

The VA cut Joseph Desario’s, 91, benefits because they found him “fit for employment.”

Desario was receiving disability benefits for decades before the VA said his condition had improved to the point where he could go out and work.

“He was always very proud of the United States,” Desario’s daughter Barbara Bruce said.

Bruce said Desario fought severe hearing loss after 36 missions in a bomber over Europe.

Desario had applied for an increase in his disability and a letter arrived soon after from the VA saying his hearing had improved and his disability was cut by $600.
