Mr. Speaker, now that two veterans ombudsmen have stated clearly that the Veterans Review and Appeal Board is not doing its job by applying the benefit of the doubt clause to veterans who apply before the board for their rightful benefits, how long will it take before we eliminate this useless political entity and allow the front-line DVA people to make the decision on peer review of medical evidence? It should be very quick.
When the heroes of our country come to DVA asking for help, they should not be turned away by the politically appointed board.
When will the government eliminate that board--
