Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his office will fund up to 12 new veterans counselors to expedite benefits claims for veterans. The governor has also directed the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) to create a new Claims Processing Assistance Team (CPAT) to help address the backlog of more than 39,000 pending disability and health benefit claims in the state. For every month these claims are pending, TVC estimates a delay of nearly $37 million in payments to Texas veterans. For more information on veterans services in Texas, visit the Texas Veterans Commission website.
