FORT BRAGG -- A part of the program is the Benefits Delivery at

Discharge program that serves the newest Veterans before they

leave active duty to get them expeditiously into the VA system.

 

 

 

 

Former VA Secretary Anthony J. Principi heads a company named QTC.

QTC provides compensation and pension exams for the VA and the military as well as private industry.

Much controversy surrounds QTC, including a contract with the VA that is easily worth over a billion dollars.

Also, there have been many complaints from veterans that QTC examiners are not properly trained and that their exams are shoddy, at best.

QTC Opens Doors to Newest Clinic at Ft. Bragg

DIAMOND BAR, Calif., /PRNewswire/ -- QTC opened the doors of its newest clinic today located on base at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

This clinic is operating in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs and will improve delivery of compensation and pension benefits to service members separating from active duty, many of whom have served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

QTC administers Compensation and Pension medical examination for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A part of that program is the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program that serves those newest Veterans before they leave active duty to get them expeditiously into the VA system.
