Question
Donna
While this is still fresh on my mind, Congressman Boren's aid called me again from DC in reference to when the time clock starts ticking for the 60 day review. He talked to the head of the VA today and they said they expect the rule to be final this fall. When it becomes final, is when the 60 day review starts. It is his opinion, that unless Congress goes for a joint resolution to prevent this rule from becoming final, claims will be developed and payments can start when the rule becomes final. It is also his opinion that congress has NO appetite to prevent Veterans from being compensated for Agent Orange exposure. While it is true that during the hearing process September 23rd, Webb could introduce a Congressional Resolution to stop the rule from becoming final, he does not see that happening at all. My question is, and cannot be answered I guess is: When the rule becomes final this fall, will the review prevent claims from being paid. I understand they can be fully worked up, but will the review prevent the payment? Congressman Boren's office says they will be paid. I don't know if I believe that.
