Week of July 23, 2012
The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced that it is deploying a new model for processing compensation benefits claims at 16 VA regional offices. The new organizational model involves special handling of claims from veterans who are facing the most serious injuries or illnesses or experiencing financial hardships or homelessness, and therefore need immediate attention. Veterans and their Veterans Service Organization representatives are encouraged to provide all the needed evidence along with their application in a "fully developed claim" in order to expedite the process. A list of the sixteen regional offices using the new model is available on the VA website. To learn more about how to file "fully developed claims," visit VA's Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) webpage.

OH JOY OF JOYS THEY ACTUALLY THINK THEY CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER AFTER HAVING A TRACK RECORD OF SCREWING STUFF UP TO THE MAX.
ReplyDeleteONLY VETERANS SHOULD RUN THE VA.
I'm optimistic the VA can get their act together and get these veterans the help they need in a timely manner. It's certainly not that they don't want to help, it's just that they get overwhelmed. Anything that helps to streamline the process get care to those that need it most is a positive in my book.
ReplyDeleteI'm simply crossing my fingers that when I file that my claim will be accepted based upon the Ft McClellan Heath Registry Act H. R. 2052 needs to pass! Please shout it from the rooftops everyone needs to be aware of the dangers we trained in at Ft McClellan Alabama
ReplyDeletewell I think we have to be watch dogs and stay on our politicians and VA bureaucrats to keep Moving the VA in the right direction. It has improved i will admit but has a lomg way to go.
