I think a lot folks bog down the “system” with fraudulent claims... Or should I say “embellished” claims...

The VA does not just hand out money. There is extensive screening. Up higher in the thread some guy asked how many claims were denied.
About 40% of all claims are denied (per what I just said, they do not just hand money out) and more to the point, 60-70% of initial claims are denied. The difference is that someone may have a 10% rating and applied to increase it to 50% via several different injuries. Some of those denied, and those, added to that 60% initial refusal means overall about 40% denial.
There are lawfirms whose primary practice is helping veterans navigate the process. These would not exist if the VA was all that generous because they would not be needed.
Was replying about the reason for “backlog”... You reaffirmed the reason...
