average time for va claim to be processed
Veterans going through VA appeals process wait an average of over 900 days. Kristina Derro, Esq. The Department of Veterans Affairsâs (VA) âappeals resolution timeâ shot up to 923 days in fiscal year 2013 â thatâs up 37% from 675 in the previous year, according to the departmentâs annual performance report. The appeals resolution time is the average time it takes for a denied claim to work through the VAâs appeals process. That means veterans are waiting nearly three years on a decision as to whether they will receive crucial disability benefits.
