Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-1) released the following statement today after the announcement that the Lewis B. Puller, Jr. Veterans Benefits Clinic at William & Mary Law School has joined the Department of Veterans Affairs Fully Developed Claims Community of Practice, the first law school clinic in the nation to receive such an invitation.

I will continue to work to ensure that the veterans of Virginia's First District receive the benefits they have earned and I am excited for the William & Mary clinic's opportunity to spread access to improved service to all of our nation's veterans. Veterans' sacrifices on behalf of fellow citizens deserve the utmost attention and faithful support of our nation."
