Even once they get everything it takes forever. My C AND P exams were done in jan 3 2024. The VA says they have everything they need. They just wont make a decision on it. Its just crazy how long it takes to make these decisions. I sometimes think its a weapon they use. If its quick to file and appeal it would encourage the veteran to keep trying. But a veteran files and doesnt hear a word from the VA for 6 to 9 months so by the time they get rejected they just give up on it. Its crazy because if someone gets in trouble with the cops theyll have you arrested and on trial and convicted within a few weeks. How is it that you serve the country then file a disability claim and sometimes it takes a year to get a decision?
My claim has been in the decision phase for over 2 months. Why is it taking so long? How can i speed it up? All of my exams.were done in a timely fashion. When i.call the va, they just always say its in the decision phase. Well like i said, thats been well over two months now.

Will, it's difficult to say normal wait times for the various steps in the initial claim process. It will vary from one decision to the next based on factors like the workload of the RO and the amount of evidence submitted. What we do know is getting an initial decision is currently averaging about 102 days.
Filed my claim on April 4th, 2023 and officially retired from AD on Aug 1st, 2023. As of today (11 Dec 23') I am still waiting! 8 months and status is in review status. The level of service feom the VA is HORRENDOUS. My claims are all pretty basic too. Nothing complicated.
My VA claim was remanded Back to RO 7/11/23 but 12/17/23 from BVA for better development they want another C&P exam I am 65 why do I need another exam when they have DBQ nexus medical records my surgeon medical records they had my records on depression my stay at VA hospital have all so why are remanding cases they have the ability to rate send back over procedures they caused and we didn’t have anything to do in causing this procedure delay not fair to the veterans at all
If the veteran’s disability worsens while they are in the appeals process or their last exam is no longer thought to be accurate, the BVA may remand the claim and have the RO gather additional evidence or request a new medical exam.

@@woodslawyers True but this has been in appeal since 2011 and finally up to Cavc in which they admitted there were made in 2 previous DBQ and sent back to get corrected APRIL of 23 then had another DBQ in Jan of 24 now waiting to 2+ yrs to find out if corrections were made. My condition is gettin worse and you would think that this would be fast tracked since the VA and Courts sent it back to get fixed
That is frustrating. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to call us at 800-544-2108, or you can request a free case evaluation here: www.woodslawyers.com/contact/?.com&ClaimStatusJoe&CommentShare

The pace is dictated by VA not woods woods
6 months here and still in evidence and review. I've already seen the DBQ and it's going to be service connected and still can't get it finalized.
I'm sorry to hear that. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know!

You should have filed a BDD Claim to have it pushed to the front if you never did.

Then why does it take so long
