Expedited Claims
38 CFR 20.1500 - Rule 1500. Expedited Claims Adjudication Initiative.
This was more of the usual smoke & mirrors by VA to show Congress just how hard working and creative they could be in speeding up veterans claims.
However, any rational sentient being would read that participation would be "predicated on the claimant's waiver of certain identified statutory and regulatory time limits, procedural rights, and processing issues that may arise" and immediately upon reading, the veteran would run and hide.
This was designed to fail. That the Congress accepted it only provides evidence of just how much your Congress is aware of the issues veterans face today.

01/17/2003 VA suspends enrollment in health program
The suspension is intended to relieve VA's huge backlog of eligible veterans waiting for enrollment. (The Secretary) will suspend enrollment in the VA health program for selected veterans for one year.
Jim;
WTF did you post that for? It's from 2003! How can you think it's relevant?
Reply;
I get emails every day about how the current administration has cut VA benefits for veterans. Veterans who choose to ignore reality and live in a fantasy world won't pay this any attention.
However, VAWatchdog lives in the real world. Note that "veterans groups" were supportive of cutting out a lot of vets from their health care benefits. With groups like that representing us, we sure don't need any enemies.
The loss of benefits was to last a year and changes would implement some Medicare support.
That all worked well, didn't it?
