TheBigPicture• Our veterans most often return home to find themselves on the front lines of a major, national healthcare crisis.
• More than 900,000 veterans are currently waiting on benefits, with an average national waiting period of more than 245 days.
• The number of veterans waiting more than one year for benefits leapt from 11,000 in 2009 to 245,000 in 2011.
• This increase represents a 2,000% increase for those low‐income and disabled veterans waiting too long for benefits.
