Under the $9.1 million development contract awarded by Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), IBM is building a system to allow veterans to file disability claims online. Initially, the system will target veterans with B-cell leukemia, Parkinson’s disease, or ischemic heart disease resulting from exposure to herbicides during the Vietnam War. Eventually, the VA plans to expand the system to handle veterans’ claims for other conditions. VA estimates that the first trial of the system will benefit as many as 100,000 veterans.
