"Today's economy is different and the effects of disability may be greater than just the loss of earning capacity."

"The VA's claims processing system has many shortcomings which have left many disabled veterans without proper and timely compensation and other benefits to which they are rightfully entitled."

"The VA needs to adopt the right tools to do the right thing so our Nation's disabled veterans get the right assistance they have earned and deserve."

"We should not be satisfied with a World War II era system for evaluating and rating their disabilities as a result of their service and sacrifice to this Nation."
