by KUAM.com

Guam's Department of Veterans' Affairs will be going under the microscope this week as a staff delegation from the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs of the House of Veterans' Affairs Committee will be visiting.

The delegation is coming at the request of Congresswoman Madeline Bordallo to investigate the current claims processing system on island. In particular, to try and create potential solutions to the backlog and denial of claims for veterans on Guam.

Via a release Congresswoman Bordallo states, "It is very important for the staff from the Veterans' Affairs Committee to come to Guam to investigate ways of improving claims processing for our local veteran community."

Following the visit to our island, the delegation will travel to Honolulu to meet with VA officials at the Regional Office.
