Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD)
BDD allows a Servicemember to submit a claim for disability compensation 60 to 180 days prior to separation, retirement, or release from active duty or demobilization. BDD can help you receive VA disability benefits sooner, with a goal of within 60 days after release or discharge.
Eligibility
BDD requires a minimum of 60 days to allow sufficient time to complete the medical examination process (which may involve multiple specialty clinics) prior to separation from service. If you are closer than 60 days to separation from service, you can submit a Quick Start claim. BDD is available nationwide and open to all Servicemembers on full time active duty, including members of the National Guard and Reserve. Members of the Coast Guard may also

When I was out-processing in 2008, 6 months prior to separation was the recommended time to contact one of the Veterans Service Organizations [VSOs] to start the application process to VBA for disability coverage and benefits SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I highly recommend that any service member schooled to leave the service contact a VSO no later than 6 months out to start the process because the VBA tends to be slow and they need as much tie as you can give them to process the paperwork.

We'll see how this goes, I have my claim in under this program. I also had my SHPE done with the VA.

Yes it briefs well sounds good, and has good intentions. I started mine at 180 days out(to the day), and trying to navigate Ebenifits and Blue Button (when they want to work) has been a royal pain in the 4th point of contact to try and get any status update.
