"Today, the VA's backlog of disability payments is now between 400,000 and 600,000, with delays of up to 177 days to process an initial claim and an average of 657 days to process an appeal."

Wonder what is was like prior to 9/11?

According to the house Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, in 2000,there was a backlog of about 250,000 claims,and an error rate of 60% of claims appealed.It took 205 days to process a new claim in 1999.
Too many vets have died with claims pending or on appeal.
