Wounded Warriors Get Another Chance

Congressman Joe Donnelly has reintroduced a bill aimed at speeding up the processing of VA disability claims. It's called the Rating and Processing Individuals' Disability or RAPID Claims Act. The Bill passed the House last year but stalled in the Senate. It would provide wounded warriors with faster response on their disability claims by setting into law a pilot program that pre-approves veterans of their eligibility. It also provides them with an appeal form. About 40,000 veterans appeal VA decisions each year.
