DVA Taking Too Long?

Here’s What You Can Do About It

You’ve done the paperwork, seen the doc, submitted the forms—and now you wait.

And wait…..

And wait…..

Sound familiar?

The Problem

DVA claim delays are one of the biggest frustrations veterans face.

What’s worse?

Most people don’t know they can do something about it.

Typical Delays

• Initial claims: often 3–6 months

• Permanent Impairment claims: 6–12 months

• Appeals: even longer if not managed properly

What Causes It

• Missing documents

• Ambiguous wording in your claim

• Medical evidence that doesn’t meet DVA requirements

What You Can Do

• Make sure every piece of evidence is in place and clearly supports your claim

• Keep track of communication and follow up regularly

• Engage an advocate who knows how to escalate when things stall
