Sacred trust: veterans deserve timely appeals reforms
Martin Schram argues that despite Obama and Shinseki vows to honor the sacred trust, the VA backlog grows as vacancies persist on the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. He cites 9 judges with 3 vacancies, rising appeals from 2,442 in 2000 to 4,725 in 2009, and calls for VA mindset change to favor veterans over adversaries. He notes VA reforms by Shinseki but warns of stalled nominations and a need to fix the system.
