Today, Senator Murray called on top officials at the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to investigate reports of service members being "low-balled" on their disability ratings. Murray also demanded a rating system that will accurately rate service members with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and called for an investigation of a so called "Wal-Mart greeter standard" that has been reported by soldiers at Fort Lewis. The questioning occurred at a historic joint hearing of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senior officials from both the DoD and VA appeared before the panel.
