The new agreement also calls for the formation of a special commission to review the VA disability system and recommend any needed changes. Of its 13 commissioners, at least seven will have to be highly decorated veterans. Four will be appointed by the House, four by the Senate, and five by the Pentagon and/or the VA.

It looks like "they" are still going to go after the current VA disability compensation system. I don't mean to be cynical but, just because someone is a "highly decorated veteran", doesn't mean they can't be led down whatever path the other members of this commission want to lead them. We need to pay close attention to this new commission and not let them just be a rubber stamp for whatever the Congress wants to get through.
I intend to keep following this as best I can and will try an post any developments as I come across them.
