Step 7: The VA Decision is SentThe VA will send you a packet by U.S. mail that includes details of the decision on your claim. Please allow 7 to 10 business days for your packet to arrive before contacting the VA.
Step 8: VA Claim is Approved
When you receive your decision notice, if it shows at least a 10% disability rating, you'll get your first payment within 15 days. The VA pays you either by direct deposit or check. If you don't get a payment after 15 days, please call the Veterans help line at 800-827-1000, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET.
As for the ongoing disability payments, you’re probably wondering, “When do I get paid?”. VA payment benefits are paid the first business day of the following month. If the first business day occurs on a non-business day, weekend or a holiday, VA benefits will be paid on the last business day prior to the first of the month. Step 9: VA Claim DeniedOnce a decision is made by the VA, the VA considers your case completed.
What is the possibility of your claim being denied? Today, 31 percent of claims are denied—and 60 percent of those denials are in error. Please note Step 10 below. If you disagree with the disability rating you receive, you can reopen your claim by filing an appeal. |
