Think from KERA

Is the VA’s disability program broken?


Listen Later

The cost of paying out Veterans Administration disability claims is more than the budget of the entire U.S. Army. Craig Whitlock is an investigative reporter who specializes in national security issues for The Washington Post. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how the veteran disability claim process works, the wide array of conditions covered and why administrators are reluctant to change how it operates. His article is “How some veterans exploit $193 billion VA program, due to lax controls.”
