VA's Manual Tells Raters to Enter Service That Never Happened ★ Premium
September 15, 2026 · 19 min read
Executive Order 14426 gives the Department of War 30 days to send every separating service member's records to VA the moment they leave, to fix a delay the White House puts at 90 to 180 days and sources to nothing. The record breaks in three places the order never names: where it is written, how it is certified, and whether the rater can open it. Each has a fix with a number attached, and the contract review due January 6 is where the three lines could go.
