According to information from the National Organization of Veterans’ Advocates (NOVA), initial VA benefits claims can take up to six months to receive a decision. Should an initial claim be denied (or underpaid), then it can take up to an additional 24 months to get a full resolution in your case. For veterans in Belleville, IL, this is immensely frustrating.
