I visited the Cleveland VA Regional Office to meet with Director Anthony Milons Sr. and several Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) to discuss the appeals process and the backlog of appeals. I learned of one veteran that has been waiting 23 years to have his claim adjudicated. According to the VA Cleveland Regional Office, the average appeals claim has been pending for more than 400 days. This is unacceptable. It is critical that Director Milons takes the appropriate steps to develop and implement an efficient and effective process to eliminate the backlog. Veterans have given up so much to serve our country, it is our responsibility to ensure that they receive the benefits they have earned once they return home. More here: tinyurl/kwlnwdd
