Disabled Veterans in Southern California Must Wait Months for VA Assistance

House Committee on Government Reform
; 
Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform conducted an investigation into the significant challenges The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is facing in providing timely benefits to injured veterans. The report focuses on Southern California, revealing that almost 10,000 disabled veterans in the region face an average waiting time of over six months before receiving VA benefits. The report highlights the potential exacerbation of this issue due to proposed budget cuts, particularly concerning as veterans return from Iraq and Afghanistan.
