House Committee on Veterans' Affairs

The U.S. House of Representatives passed 75 Veterans bills during the 110th Congress.  Of these, 18 became law, including many important bipartisan initiatives.

Washington, D.C. – A report that was requested by House Veterans’ Affairs Ranking Member Steve Buyer (Ind.) and released today by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows that a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program that allows disability benefits claims to be filed prior to discharge is more efficient than the traditional VA claims process.
