Julia Brownley: “the wait times are way too long.”

Every day, far too many veterans across this country are waiting for a VA benefit decision, but not only for the benefits they are due, but for the stability, the security, and the relief that comes with these benefits. Too often, that…

I do think that there is still more that needs to be done to make sure that we are processing these claims on a timely basis.

It is frustrating that the VA has not made more progress addressing these challenges, most of which long predate the COVID-19 pandemic.

I guess my question to you is, and this lies some of my frustration, is that the net net increase in hiring--and I presume it is not--but you let me--tell me one way or the other, is it net net?
