The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced that veterans will no longer have to complete an annual Eligibility Verification Report or EVR.  Historically, this report was required in order to maintain Veteran's benefits. This elimination will allow more Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefits Newsthan 100 VA staff to focus on the compensation claims backlog.
  In lieu of requiring the report,  VA staff will now work with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration, essentially establishing a partnership between the two agencies.  This will allow them to verify continued eligibility for pension benefits.  The current backlog of benefits claims is nearly 900,000 applicants. Any moves taken towards reducing that backlog is a step in the right direction.
