The Department of Veterans Affairs now has an enormous amount of paperwork to correct after a staffer “blindly” approved thousands of disability claims without properly reviewing them for close to two years. Experts said that some veterans whose claims were caught up in the employee’s approval blitz actually missed out on benefits, and its unclear if — or how — the staffer’s rubber-stamping might impact other vets’ wallets.

The VA acknowledged but did not answer repeated questions from Task & Purpose on whether veterans who received improperly approved benefits from the VSR’s error-ridden approval blitz would be required to pay them back .
