Th VA claims process definitely can be very much frustrating. However a denial does end end it for you. Get your documents together and file an appeal. I know there are a lot of horror stories out there unfortunately, however I'll say they have made some improvements in some of the wait times depending on what the claim is for.

Peace!

SSgt Harvey "Skip" Porter I would like MSgt Danny Hope to pile on here if he can/will. I CANNOT stress HARD ENOUGH the importance of getting your service organizations involved! The DAV stewarded my claim through from start to finish and it was efficient, fair and complete. I received an 80% rating and the first words out of my DAV reps mouth were: they disallowed two items, do you want to appeal? I replied that I expected them to be rejected (mad cow because the red cross wont take my blood and my ankle from a severe sprain on a deployment) and I was completely satisfied with the judgement. I am a life member of the DAV because of their effective processes. You can also use the VFW, or any other service org that you can find.

The VA in New Mexico lost my application twice and then told me to re-apply again. I moved East and the Philly region processed it quickly,
