VAOIG Audit of Claim Rating Accuracy

Audit of Veterans Benefits Administration Compensation Rating Accuracy and Consistency Reviews 03/12/09. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an audit to evaluate selected aspects of the Veterans Benefits Administration’s (VBA) quality assurance program. The objectives for this audit were to determine whether: (1) the Systematic Technical Accuracy Review (STAR) process effectively identified and reported errors in compensation rating decisions and (2) VBA’s rating consistency reviews ensured that rating claims for similar conditions received the same evaluations and benefits, regardless of which VA regional office’s staff completed the rating decision.
