VA’s ambitious goal now is to decide every disability claim within 125 days — four months — with 98 percent accuracy by the end of 2015. Claims older than 125 days are considered part of the backlog. “We are committed to [that goal] and I am confident we are going to achieve it,” VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said in Salt Lake City on June 25. “Today’s veterans … wait too long to receive the benefits they’ve earned. That has never been acceptable.” While the agency has made some progress since March, virtually wiping out claims older than two years by mid-June, the task ahead remains daunting. americanhomecomings/news/2013/07/03/as-va-promises-change-americas-disabled-veterans-wait-for-help/
