I want to ask you about the backlog in claims. I know that there's been lots of cheering that the backlog is said to be largely cleared out, but it seems as though what's really happening is that many of these backlog claims are being sloughed off over to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. Their numbers have gone up, and they're saying that, in some cases like hearing loss, tinnitus and things like that, they're approving well over 90% of the cases.
Is this just a case of pushing that over to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board and then slowing down the process for other veterans who are trying to do appeals?
