VA claims process

The VA claims process involves applying for benefits for service-related disabilities or issues. You start by submitting a claim online, by mail, or in person, providing evidence like medical records and service documentation. The VA reviews the information, evaluates the disability's connection to military service, and may schedule exams. They then decide on your claim, which could result in approval for compensation or benefits. If denied, you can appeal the decision. The process can take several months, and staying organized and responsive helps ensure a smoother experience.
