When VA leadership was alerted to the problem, Kordich said, board officials changed records to cover up the wait times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also said lawyers were forced to rush through other appeals to help meet annual workload goals, possibly compromising veterans&#8217; cases. And she claimed that when she brought the problems forward, she received retaliation in the form of reassignment to a windowless office with limited responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Board of Appeals Executive in Charge Laura Eskenazi denied those charges, saying the problems stem from an increase in appeals and not mismanagement by senior officials. The board has processed more than 50,000 appeals so far this fiscal year, but Eskenazi said another 60,000 are still in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., called the delays and allegations &#8220;alarming&#8221; and said he now questions if any data coming from the board can be trusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent months, VA employees have come before the committee to testify about manipulation of patient wait time data, claims backlog figures and performance bonus metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New VA Secretary Bob McDonald has promised to have outside auditors review department record keeping practices and instill a veterans-centered culture at the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"
