According to a newly posted
article on the Republican minority
page of the House Veterans
Affairs Committee, the backlog
of Veterans disability claims
in the Comp & Pen system has
climbed from 600,000 to 137,000
since the 2006 congressional
session. That brings the current
total of backlogged Vet cases
now to 737,000 or rapidly
approaching one million.

The problem is, the original
600,000 number is almost exactly
what it was at the time the
Iraq War started.

While they are touting to hire
hundreds of new claims judges,
we are opposed to that solution
until they fix the PROCESS first.
VA Claims Adjudicators are represented
by a federal Labor Union who
very likely makes significant
campaign contributions to the
political parties.

Or shall I say....Bribes!
