Next time (VA) gets money from Congress to update VA computers, award the contract to someone who is qualified, not to friends and family of politicians or VA "high ups" as political favors, who mostly squander the money and accomplish nothing. That will improve things a lot. Right now, ebenefits/va.gov is a mess. You log in to one, it makes you log out and go to the other. Merge ebenefits and va.gov, and you dont need 3 different ways to login. VA should have COMPETENT Information security, not cushy jobs for politically well connected job seekers who stand around and make excuses for security breaches and demand still more money from congress.
The above would also improve VA claim process, and pretty much everything else. Of course, it would mean firing some top management, because mostly the problems are NOT individual employees, but corruption in VA management which squanders money which should be used to help Veterans, ensuring the problem continues unabated.
Too many top managers give cushy jobs to friends and family, as well as government contracts.
Veterans deserve top level care, and many managers are determined to see Veterans dont get it.
