According to an e-mail I received from the VA:
"A Historic Success for Veterans Service
This week, we reduced the disability claims backlog to A Historic Success for Veterans Service
This week, we reduced the disability claims backlog to 98,535 claims - an 84% reduction from its peak and a historic low. This reduction means that Veterans' disability claim decisions are being delivered more accurately and efficiently. The faster Veterans receive completed claim decisions, the quicker they can access the benefits they are entitled to.
As we mark this important milestone in VA's history, we commit to continuing our efforts to improve. We will never waiver in our dedication to providing the best possible service to Veterans, Servicemembers, their families, and Survivors. - an 84% reduction from its peak and a historic low. This reduction means that Veterans' disability claim decisions are being delivered more accurately and efficiently. The faster Veterans receive completed claim decisions, the quicker they can access the benefits they are entitled to.
As we mark this important milestone in VA's history, we commit to continuing our efforts to improve. We will never waiver in our dedication to providing the best possible service to Veterans, Servicemembers, their families, and Survivors."
Is only being nearly 100,000 claims in the hole something you brag about...especially when it seem that the number one reason the work load has decreased is because the Veterans are now deceased...still waiting on their claim...and we cannot trust the number until we find out how many files have been 'misplaced' or used to start their monthly bon fires?

Sir, sometimes the choice is between laughing and crying. I always try to go with laughing.

I saw this too and my immediate reaction was: "Denying, shredding, and delaying claims isn't what it takes to reduce the backlog of claims!"
I apologize in advance for bringing politics into this, but this is on scale with the Obama administration saying that unemployment is down because less people are applying for unemployment benefits. That's because they've been unemployed for so long they don't qualify for unemployment anymore!

Maybe by denying more claims or the 35,000 that they lost, or the untold numbers they were caught shredding by their own IG.

While I am not sure why I was included on the e-mail, I did wonder if others shared my feeling and opinion. Nice to know there are a couple sane people out there still.

Sounds like the VA is tooting its own horn. Amazing how they can achieve this when not a year ago, they were being blasted for their backlog and for not being responsive to the needs of veterans. I still have a claim pending. I will keep you :::yawn::: posted.

Best of look with you claim. I hope you can hold on until they get to it. I actually found that if you call or stop in, it forces your file to actually be looked at...something that keeps it from ending up in the fire starting group.
