You talked about the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, and that there was the ability and the authority for an ombudsman actually to be involved with that. Does it matter at any particular stage of an appeal? Can you intervene halfway through when something starts to go off the rails? Do you have to wait until all options have been looked at? Or do you have to be right at the start of it, and then you have to wait until the end?
