Petition updateTHE CONN ACTExaminers should not be allowed to render opinions without specific training/ALL Medical Records

Sep 3, 2025

The VA Office of Inspector General just released a report (9/3/25) showing that 29% of VA examiners were giving medical opinions under the PACT Act before completing the required training. That’s an estimated 8,600 opinions in 2023 alone made without proper preparation.

➡️ Even after the PACT Act (2022), VA examiners were still making decisions without training—proof that veterans need stronger protections, independent reviews, and mandatory exposure-based training before ANY medical opinion can be used.

It makes me wonder: if this is happening now, what kind of training was happening before 2022 for our Veterans?

These oversight findings show why we need reform🇺🇸

This is just another reason why I’m fighting for The Conn Act:

✅ Mandatory exposure-based training 

✅ Chart integration and a unified system 

✅ System-wide accountability so no veteran falls through the cracks

My Mission: Coordination.Communication.Continuity (across the board)
