Once again Veterans documents were in the shredder bin at Roanoke. This is AFTER fast letter 08-41 expired so that Veteran victims have no recourse against the VA. No "special handling" will be allowed as this Veteran's documents were shredded outside of the Apr 07-Oct 08 limiting dates the fast letter specifies.
The VAOIG did not even put this incident in the highlights of the report, but rather buried it in the body where it would not be noticed except by those who read the whole report. Obviously, whether or not Veterans claims are shredded is not important enough to include it in the highlights of the inspection, and the VAOIG made no references that anything was to be done about it, except to blame a "careless employee". (Gee, I wonder who hired 'careless employees'?)
I thought the VA had "put controls into place" to prevent future shredding incidents. These were either not in place in Roanoke, or they were ineffective at preventing shredding from continuing.
You have to read the VAOIG's report, Larry Scott, also, did not even mention the shredding.

The VA website lists what the VA is doing to prevent shredding...it did not work.
