125 days is not very long. How many at 300 days

Gotta look at the historical perspective - the number of claims and the degree of backlog continues to increase. The 125 day backlog is simply the VA's benchmark for "backlog", even though many claims are much, much older than that. The backlog is increasing at twice the rate of total claims being processed.

I posted this morning about analyzing claims numbers. If you would please visit this thread and provide any input, I would appreciate it. http://vets.yuku.com/topic/71949/Analyzing-Claim-Numbers

@RichardMM1SS - Did you make the graph or did you get it from the VA website. Could you provide the link please. The numbers I extracted from the Monday Morning Workload Reports are considerably different.

Thank you all and thanks for your service. J

I created that chart back in December based completely on the MMWRs from the weeks noted at the bottom, and included it in an article that I wrote for Salon.com. It's my understanding that the article was included in Gen. Shinseki's daily media briefing two days before Christmas. If you see any errors in the chart, please let me know.

Oooops... Sorry bro. I was using the MMWR's from the 1st date of each month. My bust. It's a great chart. Thanks, J

Edit: Just read your article. Great work!

Richard,

I applaude you sir.

Been a fan of your salon.com articles... and salon.com in general.

Particularly "Who Killed Stanley Gibson?"

This site (VBN) makes one ponder how many more are out there... lost and forgotton by a system very unforgiving to those that posess less than the learned skills of a legal assistant at minimum.
