CBS News "60 Minutes" will broadcast what veterans face and you never see

When you hear some talk about the problems veterans face when they come home from where we sent them, Paul Sullivan of Veterans for Common Sense should be at the top of the list of people they interview because he has been behind most of the changes the VA has made over the last few years and it took him a lot longer to get them to change.

Confirmed: CBS News "60 Minutes" will broadcast the first-ever investigation into the endless delays and red tape veterans face obtaining disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

In 2002, before former President George W. Bush started his ill-fated Iraq War, Veterans for Common Sense warned that VA was unprepared to meet the needs of additional veterans when VA was already overloaded with patients and claims.

What happened at the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) - the VA agency that processes disability claims - was beyond our worst nightmare. And "60 Minutes" has the story.

VBA Forces Veterans to Wait . . . and . . . Wait

Now, more than one million veterans are now waiting . . . forced to wait an average of six months for a disability claim decision from VBA.
