VA Claim Backlog July 2024

Good News about the VA Backlog! It is at least headed in the right direction. After peaking at around 1.1M claims after initiation of the PACT Act, the tide has turned. It will probably take years to get back to the same levels as before COVID, but the longest delays are likely a thing of the past (for now).

Always good Chuck! I gained 10% due to the PACT Act. It was scheduled and processed very quickly in my mind. Less than 120 days, last fall.

I work on a base. Its standard protocol to start getting "issues" documented 180 days out. Almost everybody at this base gets out with 100%. The amount of fraudulent claims happening for unprovable conditions is absurd.

126 days 60% (80% total) I'm good.

A lot of people on Reddit are hitting a temp jurisdiction while they are in PFD at day 125.

Had a favorable BVA Remand Jan 25 2024 (PTSD - MST Related). Very strong worded order by the Judge that there were egregious DTA’s and failure to review medical evidence. Judge Ordered additional private medical records be submitted to him and the RO. Judge requested they do a records review and another medical opinion, he said another C&P should only be initiated if absolutely necessary. They got those said 76 page records that prove diagnosis and the sexual rape/assault within 2 days after orders was received. They already had medical evidence prior and lay statements from service members and SHARP unit.

As of today (07/17/2024) still pending in the Stage 3 Evidence Review and Gathering Stage since March 4th 2024. Pounding my head at the wall. Like hello you clowns, you got the records 2 days after the order was sent and it’s now July almost August. Incompetence at the RO office that it takes that long. They got everything they need with a bow wrapped. So disheartening and frustrating.

Just did a service request few days ago asking them to fix that issue and acknowledge they have the records.

Timeline as well for those on this Channel reading.
