According to an investigation by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Department of Veterans Affairs has been systematically shredding documents related to veterans' claims, possibly affecting benefits for veterans. Investigators with the Department of Veterans Affairs audited 10 veterans benefits offices around the country and found that staff were destroying mail related to claims, according to a report by Military.com, which cited an OIG report. For more information, read the article on the Military.com website and read the VA Office of Inspector General report online.
