Elizabeth Esty: “We want to make sure we are doing, not only a timely job, but also a quality job.”

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

Again, I think we need clarity on this.

I want to make sure that VA is using RAMP to inform the new system, and not as a means to disguise a true size of the appeals backlog.

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.
