NEW YORK — The Department of Veteran's Affairs has selected BuzzFeed as its lead partner for a new initiative to clear its backlog of disability claims. The VA and BuzzFeed will form a joint group made up of doctors, psychologists, benefits specialists and dirty hipsters to develop quizzes to diagnose and allocate benefits to the millions of veterans who have been waiting for action since as long ago as the Spanish American War.
"Our end goal is to provide veterans a simple method to help them determine their disability rating," Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald announced during an appearance at BuzzFeed offices. "The process saves time for both the veteran and the VA by streamlining a process that, for some, takes far too long, even for old SF guys like me."
BuzzFeed is a popular internet site known for quizzes such as "Which Disney Princess Are You?" and "Which Method Of Killing Infidels Matches Your Love Of The Prophet (PBUH)?"
