Just in case you were wondering, again, WHY so long…

In ONE FISCAL year, over ONE MILLION claims were processed…meaning approved, denied, deferred or sent to appeal.

Remember, you are always encouraged to advocate for yourselves. Once your claims have been submitted, it’s now in the hands of the VA…NO ONE ELSE.

No matter what you’ve been told, (Call your congressman, senator, mom or your vicious chihuahua) NOTHING will make the process move faster.

So, we all wait…

The number to call to ask any VA related status questions is:800.827.1000

Perhaps put it in your phones address book.

One more thing…back pay is your reward for your patience.
