It’s no secret—the VA claim process takes time. Many veterans find themselves checking the mail every day, waiting for that decision letter. When claims take longer than 125 days, they are considered part of the backlog.
The good news is that the VA has been working to reduce these wait times. But for veterans, even a few extra months can feel like forever—especially when bills are piling up and medical conditions aren’t improving.
Here’s what you can do while you wait:
- Check your claim status online or through the VA app.
- Respond quickly if the VA asks for more records or information.
- Keep records organized—medical updates, treatment notes, or buddy statements can all help if your claim is delayed or denied.
We know the waiting is tough. That’s why we stay on top of the process for our clients, making sure nothing slips through the cracks and pushing the claim forward wherever possible.
