Fighting for Illinois Veterans' Fair Share of Disability Benefits:
Following reports that veterans in Illinois were receiving less in disability benefits than those nearly anywhere else in the country, Senator Obama led efforts to correct the problems that created these
disparities. As a result of his efforts, VA opened an investigation into the matter, agreed to hire more disability claims specialists for the Chicago regional office, and agreed to re-example the claims of Illinois veterans who felt they had been treated unfairly. Senator Obama worked with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) to force the VA to notify veterans in
Illinois and other states traditionally underserved about their right to seek a review of their past claims. The resulting outreach led to significant numbers of
Illinois veterans getting the benefits they deserve.
