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 also provides them with an appeal form. About 40,000 veterans appeal VA decisions each year.
