Va Grossly Understates Education Benefits Backlog

[broncovet]

The VA is understating the VA benefits backlog by a wide margin. It is reporting to the Air Force times the Backlog is 67,000 while the real number is more than 200,000 Veterans waiting for checks for college.

Here are the two conflicting stories:

First, the vawatchdog's numbers, which were taken from the VA website:

Compare that with the 67,000 backlog reported to the media:

Notice how the AMVETS is "pleased with the effort" of the VA.

Who do you beleive, vawatchdog.org or AMVETS attempt to help out the VA by using VA's tactics: Delay, Deny, and then try to minimize the problem.

As for me, I believe vawatchdog over the AMVETS everytime, and the AMVETS just lost credibility in my book.

I never knew AMVETS had any credibility mostly all I see from them is Bingo Halls here in the south, I didn't know they even did veterans services or made public comments on VA problems, to me the VCS has a lot more credibility than AMVETS has ever had
