Do
you have a disability, medical condition or injury incurred or
aggravated during active military service? You may be eligible for
tax-free disability compensation.
VA’s
Decision Ready Claims (DRC) program allows you to expedite your claim
and have an answer within 30 days of when VA receives it.
To
submit a DRC, you should:
- Work on the submission
with an accredited Veteran
Service Organization (VSO).
- Gather the required
supporting evidence, such as military service records and medical
exams.
- Attend a VA claim exam,
if needed, before submitting your claim.
In
addition to claims for increases, DRC covers certain claims related to
direct service, presumptive service and secondary service connections.
Surviving spouses can file certain claims under DRC and transitioning
service members can use it to file pre-discharge claims less than 90
days from leaving the military.
