Clear progress in reducing backlog of VA disability claims; kudos of CIR for the spark


By SB Anderson

A pat on the back this morning to the Center for Investigative Reporting, which shined a harsh light earlier this year on the enormous backlog of disability claims filed with the Veteran’s Administration. And it continued its push to get information out about the backlog, particularly with useful local market data.

The result? Big drops all the way around, as this info graphic that CIR released over the weekend shows.
