[quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, I remember that Congressional hearing:

It was funny to hear the BVA Chairman testify to Congress under oath that Board attorneys are able to review tens of thousands of pages of evidence and write an entire decision with 10 hours. While I saw a few members of Congress react in disbelief, I was surprised that no one asked follow up questions.

I don’t think Congress is concerned with the fact that 80 percent of BVA decisions contain serious errors in fact and law. They just want BVA to crank out decisions. I’m even more confident that Congress doesn’t care about the rampant discrimination and harassment at the Board. I mean, Congress took no action against Trump’s VA Secretary, who retaliated against a woman who reported sexual harassment. He was also a staunch Confederate sympathizer. I don’t expect anything to change even under Biden, as the same career managers are in charge - I fully expect BVA to promote the BVA managers whom EEOC recently found had engaged in discrimination against an employee (in line with BVA’s practice of promoting managers who engage in discrimination and reprisal).
