Senators tell Hagel that VA backlog is 'simply unacceptable'

Senators tell Hagel that VA backlog is 'simply unacceptable' - The Hill's Floor Action:
“Tragically, these men and women are also waiting years to access the benefits they need and deserve — 449 days on average in New York, 506 days in Los Angeles, and 439 days in Waco, according to VA. This is simply unacceptable.”
The senators said that they believe some of the delay is caused because the Department of Defense takes too long to send military and medical records of the disabled veteran to the VA."
