EXCLUSIVE: Trump VA Takes Machete To Huge Disability Claim Backlog That Piled Up Under Biden |

The VA brought unresolved claims down from 264,717 to 198,378 — or by approximately 25% — since President Donald Trump returned to office - Hudson Crozier

“Under President Trump, VA’s claims processing productivity is the highest it has ever been, and we will continue working overtime on behalf of Veterans until the backlog is at record lows,” VA Secretary Doug Collins said. 

“Veterans and VA beneficiaries deserve timely and accurate claims decisions, and that is exactly what we will deliver.”...

• The VA has faced complaints of delayed or low-quality health care for wounded former soldiers across multiple presidencies. 
• The VA’s backlog grew to around 378,000 under Biden as it prioritized partisan agendas such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. 
• Before Biden’s term, the first Trump administration brought the number to its lowest ever at 64,738, the VA said.
