Requesting Feedback : I have been working with Department Veteran Affairs administration to give veterans timely care. But a number of veterans and their family members pointed out to me on Monday key officials haven't been helping.We can all agree historically U.S. veterans have gotten the "shaft" no matter who's in power.I continue to have faith Department Veteran Affairs (DVA) will "clean house" holding employees accountable and putting veterans first.

Personally, I've been waiting since August 2015 since the last action on a compensation appeal. If this level of "customer service" is any indicator of the rest of the VA system I am thankful that I do not have to depend on the VA for any level of care.

Yes the system is strained due in large part to mismanagement on the top levels, also the people in power are political hacks for the most part and they don't take adequate stock in their underlings. That system is not set up to win, it's set up to make politicians look good on paper. This is unfortunate.
