Issues: Veterans

We must eliminate the VA case backlog that is nearing a point of crisis. I am deeply concerned about the delays that many veterans experience in gaining resolution to their claims for service-connected compensation and related benefits, and I am an ardent supporter of efforts to remove the backlogs at every stage in the process. Making veterans wait for 12 to 18 months to resolve a claim is simply unacceptable.
