"We just learned that on January 17, the President approved an additional $3.7 billion in funding for the Veterans Administration.
Until now, no one knew what the President was going to do. Previously, he had said he would support getting the money to the VA. But with the deadline just days away, time was running out. So last Thursday, along with nine other leading veterans organizations, IAVA signed a letter to the President urging him to approve the funding.
This money is desperately needed to battle a backlog of 600,000 VA claims, and to pay for research into medical conditions like Traumatic Brian Injury."
