VA claims backlog being reduced according the the VA. Looks like they are working diligently to take care of the VETS.

Might be the lowest, but don't forget this article from August 17th which sparked an investigation on 3 other VA facilities that file claims!! Could this be the reason for the reduction in backlogged claims, shredding the claims ?

The next hurdle will be the appeals; it takes more experienced individuals to navigate the legal requirements of the appeals process. And yes, those of us working the backlog, have put in untold hours to make it happen. The end of Mandatory Overtime is in my sight group!

Here in Texas....they brought together VA employees from different facilities all over the state and set up a three day convention in Austin...they had about 50 computers set up where Vets with claims that had not been processed could come to, sit down with and have their claim processed.
I went there...sat down...went over my claim...and within 3 weeks I received an answer....when I had turned my claim in nearly two years previous.

I live in Texas and never heard about this. I just found out, by calling the VA, that for some reason my appeal was cancelled back in June. Still waiting to hear why it was cancelled.
