VA Claims Process

VA Claims Process

Filing a VA claim can feel like stepping into a maze. Here’s a simple breakdown of the process so you know what to expect:

  1. Claim Received – The VA confirms they’ve received your paperwork.
  2. Initial Review – They check that everything is complete and in order.
  3. Evidence Gathering – This is often the longest step. The VA may request records, schedule you for a C&P exam, or review your service history.
  4. Decision Made – The VA issues a Rating Decision that explains if your claim is approved, what your disability rating is, and when your payments will start.

On average, decisions take several months, but each case is different. Some are faster; some take longer, especially if the VA asks for more evidence.

The most important thing to remember is that a denied claim isn’t the end—you can appeal. And if the decision doesn’t seem fair, we can help you challenge it. Our role is to make sure you never feel lost in the maze, and that your voice is heard at every stage.
