Veteran Disability Lawyer
If you are a veteran navigating the VA disability process, you are amazed at the
numerous forms that must be completed.
If you are like many vets, the DOD
experience with forms did not train you for the VA collection of forms, some of
which seem designed to confuse. A recent
article discussed the federal government’s desire to create a form for every
event. "The American Action Forum found that paperwork needed for health
benefits claims — in part the result of 31.2 million Veterans Affairs claims
each year — takes federal employees roughly 43.3 million hours to
process."
" Other findings in the study:
• A disabled veteran seeking health and educational benefits could encounter up to 49 different forms, more than four hours of paperwork, and an aggregate cost of $125, assuming $31 per hour of compliance time.
• One collection, “Income-Net Worth and Employment Statement,” contains 40 questions, takes one hour to complete, and VA receives more than 104,000 responses every year."
What do you think is the worst form in the VA
universe of forms?
