Senator to VA: End the epidemic of Fraud




I did not say it first.  Senator Cornyn has echoed what Veterans have been saying  all along:  

One could ask:   If the VA thinks its “ok” to steal from the most vulnerable disabled Veterans with mental issues, then what is wrong with the VA stealing from “other” disabled Vets, also?

Or, more specifically, if there is rampant unchecked fraud in the fiduciary part of VA, what is to stop this epidemic of fraud in other areas of the VA?

According to this attorney who represents Veterans against the VA, the VA does not always act in the Veteran’s best interest, to put it mildly:

The VA likes to say these are “isolated” incidents, so this article lists” a few” victims:

Isnt it time that there is a REAL police force assigned to the VA instead of the “in house” VAOIG?    Can we Vets afford to let the fox keep guarding the hen house?

P.S. To get the CAVC’s take on it, check out this seminal panel discussion  and subsequent grant for extraordinary relief (Mandamus) in 2011. (AN)
