[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think DOGE should consider splitting VA up. VHA and the Cemetery Administration should comprise the Department of Veterans Affairs. VBA and BVA should merge with SSA. There’s absolutely no reason for paying BVA disability decision writers more than SSA disability decision writers.[/quote]

Dumb take. I’ve done both. BVA requires more intellect, more effort at staying current with the law, it’s a lot less formulaic, more complexity. Plenty of people who can stay afloat at SSA wash out quickly at the Board. [/quote]

Didn’t BVA hire several judges with no VA disability experience? How complex can VA disability be when BVA hires judges with no relevant prior experience. Also, what about the VA claims examiners who initially review VA disability claims? Even though they aren’t attorneys, VA claims examiners don’t have difficulty applying VA disability law to VA disability claims.[/quote]

I wonder what percentage of commenters here have never set foot inside the BVA?  Many of these comments (such as the one above) make it pretty clear to me that a lot of people either spent no time or very little time at BVA and have no clue about what BVA does.  [/quote]
