It’s no secret that the Veterans Administration has had problems for years. A huge backlog of cases, organizational problems and neglect of Veterans and their health has unfortunately been the story coming out of the VA for years. Spend any amount of time with other Vets, and you quickly learn that the system in place to help our soldiers is in poor shape, and the VA says it has been taking measures to improve their services, wait times and benefits. There is no reason why you should be subjected to those things as a Veteran.
