The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) processes veterans’ benefits claims in detail. The processing time for a veterans benefits claim can vary depending on the type of claim and the amount of evidence that is needed to support the claim. Generally, the VA will process a veterans’ benefits claim within 125 days from the date the VA receives the complete application package. However, veterans who have a service-connected disability or are filing a claim for dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) may experience longer processing times.
