This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 21st Century System for Evaluating Veterans' Disability Benefits recommends improvements in the medical evaluation and rating of veterans for the benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to compensate for illnesses or injuries incurred in or aggravated by military service. Compensation is a monthly cash benefit based on a rating schedule that determines the degree of disability on a scale of 0 to 100. Although a disability rating may also entitle a veteran to ancillary services, such as vocational rehabilitation and employment services, the rating schedule is out of date medically and contains ambiguous criteria and obsolete conditions and language. The current rating schedule emphasizes impairment and limitations or loss of specific body structures and functions which may not predict disability well. 21st Century System for Evaluating Veterans' Disability Benefits recommends that this schedule could be revised to include modern concepts of disability including work disability, nonwork disability, and quality of life. In addition to the need for an updated rating schedule, this book highlights the need for the Department of Veterans' Affairs to devote additional resources to systematic analysis of how well it is providing services or how much the lives of veterans are being improved, as well as the need for a program of research oriented toward understanding and improving the effectiveness of its benefits programs.

Book excerpt: The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) provides disability compensation to veterans with a service-connected injury, and to receive disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a veteran must submit a claim or have a claim submitted on his or her behalf. Evaluation of the Disability Determination Process for Traumatic Brain Injury in Veterans reviews the process by which the VA assesses impairments resulting from traumatic brain injury for purposes of awarding disability compensation. This report also provides recommendations for legislative or administrative action for improving the adjudication of veterans' claims seeking entitlement to compensation for all impairments arising from a traumatic brain injury.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO investigated certain allegations regarding the adjudication of disability compensation claims by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical and Regional Office Center in Wilmington, Delaware. GAO found that the Center: (1) cited reduced staffing, decentralized claims handling, and delayed medical examinations as primary reasons why it did not meet VA timeliness standards for processing initial disability benefit claims; (2) established a maximum period for completing and reporting medical examinations that was shorter than the national VA maximum and realigned its work load with neighboring regional offices; (3) processed 65 percent of initial claims and 84 percent of reopened claims within 180 days for the 12 months ending March 1989, compared with VA standards of 70 percent and 86 percent, respectively; and (4) increased its number of medical examinations by about 300 per year, restricted medical examination contracts to psychiatric and orthopedic examinations, eliminated routine ordering of medical specialty examinations for initial claims, and incorporated timeliness standards into the regional office and medical center directors' performance contracts. In addition, GAO found that there was no: (1) basis for questioning differences between veterans' VA disability ratings and Social Security Disability Insurance program ratings, since the programs had different laws and rules; and (2) evidence to substantiate allegations regarding an unqualified rating board physician, improper documentation of service connection, or quotas for denied claims.
