Ridgway and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental challenge for the veterans benefits system today, including the appellate process, is system effects. That is the term academics use to describe the problem that occurs in large systems when the number of rules grows so large that the system stops producing the desired result, even though each individual rule can be defended as making a positive contribution to the goal. We have long passed the point of critical mass where the sum total is too complex for adjudicators at every level to keep straight, much less for untrained veterans to understand. A better appellate system - and a better adjudication system in general - needs to move away from trying to deal with millions of veterans with millions of rules, and instead focus on finding the smallest number of rules that will fulfill the goal of creating a truly veteran-friendly system that is capable of delivering timely and accurate results. An improved appellate process needs to contribute to this paradigm shift. In a system suffering from system effects, there are no magic bullets. The problem of complexity can be solved only by dramatic change. Because the large number of rules is the central challenge, a great number of individual parts must be critically examined and streamlined. These are just a few suggestions that I have proposed in the past, and are just the beginning of a larger project that must include all the stakeholders. Most importantly, changes must be rigorously tested with real veterans to make sure that they understand and benefit from the system that is supposed to be friendly and paternalistic toward them. Everyone wants the system to provide better results, but at this point more rules increase delay, not quality. Less process and more effectiveness are the true answers.
Book Synopsis Veterans' Benefits by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Veterans' Benefits written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) appeals process for disability compensation and pension decisions, to determine whether VA could improve the timeliness of its appeals process without detriment to quality. GAO found that VA did not: (1) effectively manage appeals, since it lacked adequate data to identify systemic problems; (2) accurately report on the time the appeals process took, and lacked adequate time standards; (3) ensure timely resolution of processing and reporting problems, which often involved multiple organizational units; (4) provide adequate guidance and oversight for regional offices; or (5) ensure that regional offices were complying with procedures. GAO also found that: (1) despite the appeals process being the same for all regions, the average time varied widely among VA regional offices; (2) delays in regional offices were due to slow case statement processing, and delays in requesting or using appeals medical information and forwarding appeals to the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA); and (3) VA developed an automated Veterans Appeals Records Management System to provide BVA with appeals data for reporting and control purposes, but the system had never provided accurate data. In addition, GAO found that: (1) the reported average processing time did not accurately reflect the time VA took to provide final decisions on appeals, because it did not account for regional office time spent on remanded decisions, and VA double-counted cases remanded to BVA; and (2) VA management, Congress, and others did not have a complete picture of how long veterans waited for appeal decisions.

This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " VA compensates veterans for disabling conditions incurred in or aggravated by military service. Veterans can appeal VBA's decisions on their compensation claims, first to VBA and then to the Board, a separate agency within VA. In fiscal year 2015, more than 427,000 appeals were pending and veterans waited over 3 years on average for decisions. Of this total, about 81,000 were pending at the Board and the average cumulative time veterans waited for a decision by the Board in 2015 was almost 5 years. This report examines VA's approaches to address challenges it identified as contributing to lengthy appeals processing times, and the extent to which those approaches are consistent with sound planning practices. GAO focused mainly on the Board, which experienced an increase in workload of about 20 percent from fiscal year 2014 to 2015. GAO reviewed VA's proposed plans and actions and compared them to sound practices relevant to workforce planning and implementing process redesign and new information technology identified in federal guidance, such as internal control standards, and prior GAO work. GAO also analyzed VA's data for fiscal years 2011-2015 (the most recent available) on appeals decision timeliness and workloads

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) has struggled to provide timelyreviews for veterans who appealdecisions on their disabilitycompensation claims. A veteranappeals to the VA regional office thatmade the initial decision, and if stilldissatisfied, to the Board of VeteransAppeals (Board). An appeal to theBoard adds more than 2 years, onaverage, to the wait for a decision onthe appeal. To resolve more appeals atthe regional level and avoid waits atthe Board, VA, in 2001, established theDecision Review Officer (DRO) reviewas an alternative to the traditionalregional office appeal review. A DRO isgiven authority to grant additionalbenefits after reviewing an appealbased on a difference of opinion withthe original decision. In contrast, underthe traditional review, new evidence isgenerally required for a grant ofadditional benefits. GAO examined (1)the extent to which veterans choose aDRO review, (2) outcomes for DROreviews, and (3) VA's challenges inmanaging DROs. GAO analyzed Boarddata, surveyed managers in all 57regional offices, visited 4 offices, andinterviewed veterans. "
