File a Pre-Discharge Claim
If
your separation date is within the next 90-180 days, the Benefits
Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program can help you get paid immediately
after discharge. Through this pre-discharge program, a service member
can begin the claims process while still on active duty, resulting in VA benefits delivery immediately after discharge.
