Summary: It's been a year since Congress passed the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act that charged the Veterans Affairs Department with creating a new process for veterans pursuing appeals. VA has been working to stand up the new program for the past year. But veterans have an opportunity to get their claims in the door now, and faster. David McLenachen is the director of the appeals management office at the Veterans Benefits Administration. He told Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko about the options veterans currently have to pursue their appeals on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
