Since VA Secretary Doug Collins started, VA's disability benefits claims backlog is down more than 20%.

@SecVetAffairs Denying them in bulk isn’t really reducing the back log!

@SecVetAffairs Just declining them all

@SecVetAffairs The denial stamp was smoken.

Agree they’ve been moving quicker but so many denials for “no service connection”, when chronic conditions crop up after discharge. It’s so wrong for these to just get denied because people didn’t have something in their record. 20 years in military takes a toll on bodies. And, so many of us didn’t go to dr regularly, because it was highly frowned on, you’d just be told to take a couple tylenol, motrin etc, and get back to duty.

@SecVetAffairs @RepLuttrell you guys should ask @SecVetAffairs - of the 21% reduction, how many were denials. then make VA disclose the denial database numbers (since its a separate system) and the average time the veteran resides in that black hole.

@SecVetAffairs 7 1/2 years ago I developed symptoms & I am still waiting for the VA to grant my SCD for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma & Lung Cancer. After 2 claims, a supplemental, a higher-level review, 3 more supplementals & now an appeal that a Veterans Law judge is reviewing. Waiting 2808 Days.

I smell bullshit. @SecVetAffairs You are so worried about Bias. YOU ignoring me 3 times, and then Bashing us for voicing problems about the VA. Read what the VA Dr. told me to do. Complaint: Sleep Apnea NOT due to COPD. Dr. Tajinder Singh Q: Do you snore A: No, Not bad Q: Do you choke on, you know, your throat? A: No I aspirate stomach acid into my lungs, and the CPAP helps avoid that. Q: Have you been prescribed antacids? A: Yes and had a camera sent down my throat, and every other place I have a hole. No problem seen. I eat At 2-3 pm and have an elevated bed… Solution from the Dr. You need to eat coleslaw, not the coleslaw you get from the store, ya know, the coleslaw you do not have to put in the refrigerator. Doug Collin’s is part of it it is all a con job

@SecVetAffairs Not only are they backlogged, but we’re all getting denied.

@SecVetAffairs Haven’t gotten anywhere since last October

@SecVetAffairs Well, I filed an update to a previous claim on Wednesday, so let’s see how it goes.
