The Veterans Benefit Administration “regional office at Fort Harrison is one of three sites nationwide chosen to help decrease the backlog of veterans’ claims for disability and education benefits.” On Wednesday, VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki told US Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester (D) that the Fort Harrison office “along with sites in Wichita, Kan., and Milwaukee, Wis., will help test the VA’s proposal to streamline the claims process.” Tester said it could result in “seven new jobs” at Fort Harrison. At present, the VA has a “backlog of about 600,000 claims pending for over 125 days.”
