The VA scandal just went from bad to worse. Not only has the agency failed to carry through on its promise to fire 1,000 beleaguered employees, but new allegations of malfeasance are surfacing. “The Veterans Benefits Administration provides $95 billion of entitlements each year to veterans, including disability money, pensions to vets and their surviving spouses and death benefits – even American flags at veterans’ funerals,” CBS explains. “But a CBS News investigation has found widespread mismanagement of claims, resulting in veterans being denied the benefits they earned, and many even dying before they get an answer from the VA.” For example, Dorrie Stafford received a letter last summer addressed to her husband, Wayne, an Army veteran. But there’s just one big problem: “It’s dated July 29, 2014, and thanks Dorrie’s husband … for the disability claim he filed in July of 2004,” CBS reveals. ‘The decade-long delay is just one problem; the other is that Wayne died in an accident seven years ago, without hearing a word from the VA.“ According to whistleblowers, there are 13,184 similar cases dating back to 1996, and it’s not simply an oversight. One concerned employee, writes CBS, "said VA supervisors in Oakland ordered her team to mark the claims 'no action necessary’ and to toss them aside.” It’s increasingly evident our veterans are more well suited outside the system than in it.
