Newsday reports that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has reassigned its New York regional director and five other top managers after discovering that hundreds of claims were misdated to make it appear that they were being processed on time.
“It was systematicaly enough of a problem that we removed the leadership,’’ the newspaper quotes VA spokeswoman Alison Aikele in a story you can read here.
