Elizabeth Esty: “We are very concerned that this continue.”

We should not expect our veterans to be experts in appeals law, Veterans Affairs regulations. That is not their job. It is our job to take care of them.

Again, I think we need clarity on this.

I believe it is a model that for large-scale policymaking that other Committees--this Committee and other Committees--should look to duplicate.

I am happy to welcome everyone here today as we enter the home stretch on the implementation of the Appeals Modernization Act.
