Pentagon will recheck veterans requests for back benefits
by Stephen Koff


WASHINGTON --The Pentagon' s accounting unit agreed Wednesday to double-check requests by more than 25,000 veterans who were turned down for back benefits, concurring with U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich that "a veteran deserves better."
Kucinich, head of a domestic policy subcommittee House panel that found flaws in the military benefits system, also got the Pentagon's acting inspector general to order an audit. This will help determine whether more than 60,051 veterans who were approved for back benefits got the right amounts.
