[Berta]

In part

"A Veterans Benefits Administration
(VBA) management support team, sent
to assist with operations of the Oa
kland Veterans Service Center from
October through November 2012, found in
a file cabinet approximately
14,000 informal claims dating back to
the mid-1990s. VARO staff stated
they counted the documents and found 13,184 informal claims, of which
2,155 still required processing action.
VARO management tasked a special
project team to process
the 2,155 informal claims—an
effort that continued
until the team supervisor left the VARO in April 2014"

The FBI needs to look into organized crime aspects of why so many claims are getting denied. Some parties are evidently pressuring RO s into denying claims in order to funnel monies that are supposed to be paid to veterans as compensation, somewhere else. Follow the money and they will find some fats rats somewhere just gobbling down the cheese. I believe it goes way deeper that bonuses at the RO levels as the reason for the widespread denial of benefits and compensation and wrongful denial of healthcare thru deception are rampant. I think that money must be getting wrongfully and illegally earmarked for construction and technology contracts. Someone or a group of people must be pulling the strings and its been going on for a long time. Think about it.. UNIONS, CONTRACTS, CONSTRUCTION often = ORGANIZED CRIME. When you have people inside of the hospital that are doing the contracting, it is a conflict of interest. Folk can get really friendly and generous when millions of dollars in contracts are involved. That is why an outside firm, from outside our govt, needs to do a forensic audit of the spending inside the VA. every dollar accounted for., and report directly to the head of the FBI. If organized crime is found they should prosecute under the RICO laws. Find out who owns these contracting businesses and how they are politically connected .

Just my opinion.

NO MATTER WHAT SIZE BUDGET CONGRESS APPROVES TO THE VA, THEY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE VETERANS.. THAT MEANS THE MONEY IS GETTING STOLEN SOMEWHERE!!!!
