WASHINGTON – Congressman John Hall’s bill that would overhaul the VA’s disability claims bureaucracy has passed in the Senate. It passed unanimously in the House weeks ago.

Senator Hillary Clinton sponsored the bill in the upper house.

“This legislation comprehensively modernizes the Veterans Benefits Administration and makes it more accountable,” said Hall, chairman of the House Veterans Subcommittee on Disability Assistance. “This bill will help the VA become a 21st century, world-class entity that fulfills its purpose of serving our veterans, their families, and survivors.”

Hall anticipated the President will sign the bill in the days ahead.
