We are very pleased with the support coming from the veterans affaires committee this 110th Congress. They have pressed the VA hard on a number of issues and we may soon be at a turning point with VA related benefits. Make no mistake there is a log way to go and we want all of you to keep steady pressure on the VA and report issues to us so we can up channel them.
Of note we are watching the new post 9/11 GI bill to see if the VA has the capability to implement benefits as fast as the claims. It is critical that they learn from past mistakes in the aera of VA Retro pay and the excessive delays getting veterans paid. We expect the VA to be more pro-active not re-active in the future and this is a big test of thier ability to do that.
Please keep us posted with both success stories and delays you face in the area of the new post 9/11 GI bill.
