VBA needs to tighten up procedures to get poison-water benefits to Camp Lejeune veterans

Maybe you’ve seen the lawyer ads on TV. For a period of some 35 years, a million people were potentially exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune, the Marines base camp in North Carolina. Since 2017, veterans from that era are presumed to have service-related illnesses from drinking that water. Now the Veterans Affairs Department inspector general has found the Veterans Benefits Administration hasn’t done a great job of processing those claims. The Federal Drive with Tom Temin gets the details from the deputy IG for audits and inspections, Brent Arronte.
