“We know waiting for benefits is hard for veterans. We have cut wait times by 57% since 2021, even though applications went up by 90% over the last ten years. We are spending money to fix the system, and I will share more details soon.”
“Madam Speaker, we know that for a veteran who is waiting for their benefits, any timeline can feel challenging, and we are here to support them. That is why we have reduced the average processing time by 57% since 2021. At the same time, we have also seen an increase of 90% in the number of applications for disability benefits over the past decade. We are making the investments to stabilize and modernize service delivery. The work is under way, and I will have more to share.”
