Additionally, the VBA must establish a formal process to conduct annual studies to help guide the national training program for claims processors.</p> <p>Finally, the VBA must evaluate the guidance relating to PTSD to determine if updates are warranted to provide claims processors with better resources regarding best practices for claims processing, including specific guidance regarding development of claims involving compensation for service-connected PTSD.<br> </p>
