Subcommittee Releases Report on Delays in Retirement Pay for Veterans with Disabilities

 

The Domestic Policy Subcommittee Majority of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today released the attached report and accompanying documents. The report details the reasons for severe delays in processing the claims of disabled veterans for their military retired pay. The report finds that poor contractor performance, government mismanagement and the erosion of quality controls denied thousands of disabled veterans timely and accurate retroactive retired pay awards.
