Subject: Fw: Townhall Meeting: Reforming The Dept. of Veterans Affairs
LAS VEGAS TOWNHALL MEETING: REFORMING THE VA
North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has called the backlog of disability claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs, that leaves many disabled veterans waiting months for their paperwork to be processed, �a national embarrassment.�
Here in Nevada, when it comes to serving our veterans, the VA Reno Regional Benefit Office has the worst record in the nation. At the Reno Office roughly 6,396 veterans are awaiting for their Veterans Affairs disability compensation claims, with 66.5% backlogged for more than 125 days. It also takes an average of 392 days to complete the claim. Nationally, 660,580 veterans are awaiting for their Veterans Affairs disability compensation claims and 57.2% backlogged 125 days. Veterans� waiting in line for claims�sometimes for years�is utterly unacceptable.
The Concerned Veterans for America is hosting a townhall meeting on this pressing issue.
DATE: Thursday, March 20, 2014
TIME: 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
LOCATION: South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa, Las Vegas, Nevada
Panelists will include Pete Hegseth, CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, and Darin Selnick, Military Advisor to Concerned Veterans for America and former assistant to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Note: Additional panelists to be named very soon.
This event, sponsored by CVA�s Nevada chapter, is the first in our 2014 policy state series entitled �Defend & Reform: Defending Freedom by Advancing Reform.�
Registration is free and dinner will be served. To RSVP visit HERE.
For more information or to interview Pete Hegseth, CEO of CVA, please contact Kate Pomeroy at 703-638-3927 or via e-mail at kpomeroy@cv4a.org.
