I wanted to start a new thread because I didn't want to mess up richard 1954's post. Does anyone know for real why the VA Benefit people bend over backwards to deny veteran's claims. I was told a while back by a VSO who should know that they certainly had a quota to disposition claims.; so many a week or a month.I also heard that the managers, but not the lower tier workers, got some kind of bonus for "cost savings." What are those"cost savings?"Do they actually get financially rewarded for denying or making lower rated decisions some how? There has to be some actual truth to this kind of thought because of some of the ways these claims get denied. They ignore facts, don't read the evidence we high light for them, apply wrong diagnostic codes, combine separate disabilities, etc.,etc. Anyone got any knowledge of where we can find any facts if it is indeed financial?

@Blessed, we are not attacking you. We are attacking a system that encourages denials of claims. When we see a claim denied for something like, "the veteran is receiving long term disability so is s
