Original research, published with the data.

OIG's own workpapers, released in full under FOIA: confirmed coordinator contact falls from 79 percent post-delivery to 36 percent at month twelve, and the first VA postpartum visit averaged 197 days out. First release in an ongoing series.

Records VA released in full under FOIA show DIC denials rose 79 percent in one year while grants also hit a record, and about one grant in four comes through the little-known 1318 pathway.

45 months of exam requests and completion times for VA's four contract exam vendors, the 1,118-page examiner training release read version by version, and the vendor-level oversight results VA did not provide.

Claim-level records VA released under FOIA show its automated pipeline grants Survivors Pension at the lowest rate among the four benefit categories in the release: about one claim in three.

Every semiannual Unified Agenda edition archived and compared: which VA rules slipped, by how many months, and the one projection that moved more than seven years.

Every active VA information collection archived monthly from OMB's public inventory: the hours, the forms they concentrate in, and every renewal window coming up for public input.

Every state scored on accredited representation, VA facility access, rurality, and rural broadband. Built from our weekly archive of VA's accreditation rosters, a record no one else keeps.

All 58 county pathways and all 148 public campus pages coded for how they publish one state benefit: 46 county pages name the fee waiver, 17 state intake channels, 75 campus pages mention it. Published with the coded dataset, coding guide, and a two-page policymaker brief.

Five positive findings from the same FOIA records behind our critical reports: PACT decisions scaled roughly tenfold, DIC grants hit a record, automated burial claims decide in days, VA's public numbers reconcile exactly, and VBA beat its own FOIA averages answering us.

The documented AI systems in VA claims processing, what VA says on the record, and the oversight fights underway, with every claim sourced.

Every 100 percent disability rate since 2000, checked against 26 years of inflation data. COLA held its ground overall, but the 2009 peak stood 9.4 percent above the 2022 low in real terms, an 8.6 percent decline from peak to low.

48 months of PACT Act grant and denial data obtained under FOIA case 26-23669-F. The 12-month grant rate fell 8.4 points, from 78.6 percent in the law's first year to 70.2 percent in the most recent year, a period measure distinct from VA's cumulative approval rate.
