I think automatically approving some disabilities would greatly help. There are certain conditions that are associated with certain trades, as the previous speaker was mentioning, and some of those should be automatically presumed to be related to service. That would greatly help. It would alleviate the backlog, because more would be going through on an easier basis, for lack of a better word. That enables treatment to be paid for.
For example, if somebody has a bad knee and needs a brace or needs injections, that is not paid for until you have a successful disability claim. It can take a while. It's gotten a little better—I must give Veterans Affairs that—but when the worst backlog was happening, it was two years before somebody would get a disability claim approved for a knee. There were a lot of people whose conditions worsened during the time when VAC could have approved claims, and it would have been much better for the individual, their family and their quality of life also.
