SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Let's hope he does what is in the best interest of the Veterans of this country and leaves politics at the door.

I hope he focuses on the backlogs. Things were looking good until June 2020 but now its in the 250K range. And with the PACT Act getting pushed through this could cause the backlog to go over 1 million.
I'm OK with adding benefits however there needs to be a coordinated effort on the backend to adjudicate claims quickly.

Apply for and manage the VA benefits and services you’ve earned as a Veteran, Servicemember, or family member—like health care, disability, education, and more.
