I dont see anything in this bill that actually addresses the solution to the backlog.
As long as VAROs can send prejudicial VCAA letters to veterans and widows which may or may not include a VCAA Election form (which triggers the VA to begin to work on the claim) then those veterans and widows (like me) become a part of the backlog.
I am seeking someone in Congress to sponsor an amendment to the VCAA to stop this and thus stop a continued backlog.
I will attach the amendment I wrote in email if you respond.

I am a volunteer veterans claims counselor and I know what will change the backlog.

I have been waiting 30 years no accountability by these agencies.For musculoskeletal injuries.24 years of medical documentation vanished for treatment of these injuries.If things were process correctly the first time there would be no back log. 50 days active duty hospitalization,and others.Disgraceful to the American Soldier.
