Sherrod Brown actually said...

"Far too many veterans submit claims for disability compensation themselves. The assistance they receive from a VA employee amounts, for the most part, to legal malfeasance if not malpractice."

"VVA supports fully the passage of S. 1556 because it strikes out against indefensible bureaucratic curmudgeonliness, and for employee justice."

"S. 1295 would require the VA to notify veterans (or their representatives) that they may use a veteran service organization representative (VSO) for the claims process when filing an electronic claim."

"This shameful fact led VA Secretary Shinseki to make ending homelessness amongst veterans by 2015 one of his highest priorities."
