carlie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Veterans Upset With Thousands of Backlogged Claims "Columbia, SC (WLTX) - There are more than 400,000 veterans here in South Carolina. Of that number, more 16,000 have claims that are backlogged. "We didn't find it robbery to go so it should not be robbery to helpus," said Yvonne Aikens. Many veterans in our state made serving our country a career. "I have been there done that and I believe in what we are out here for," said Aikens. Aikens served 23 years in the military..now she and other veterans are having problems receiving their benefits. "As for me, I have only been waiting 12 years," said Charles Welch. A claim is considered backlogged when it has not been handled in 125 days. "We came back with messed up minds and some of us with missing legs and arms and we were there for our country and I feel like there is no more right than we get benefits to help us survive and take care of us as well as our health," said Aikens. Veterans along with employees like Peter Shvetz with the Veterans Benefits Administration rallied to bring awareness to the problem."
