AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans Administration Backlog Accountability Act of 2023, requires the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs to submit a report to Congress on the backlog of disability compensation claims submitted to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The report must include the status of the backlog, an assessment of how the Secretary is addressing the backlog, including through staffing and new technologies, and the impact of the backlog on claimants' wait times.
