The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) conducted a recent interview with Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Eric Shinseki concerning the VA backlog of disability and pension claims. The interview, which can be accessed at PBS Interview With Secretary Shinseki, is worthwhile to watch if you are one of the million veterans who currently have a claim pending before the VA.
As I have stated before, it is more important than ever for veterans and/or claimants to take affirmative control over their claim to ensure that all issues are being properly adjudicated. If you are confused about how to advocate of your VA disability compensation or pension claim, please do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation at sdirector@FRE-L.com or (732) 382-6070.
