"The lawsuit, filed by the Vietnam Veterans of America and Veterans of Modern Warfare in U.S. District Court in Washington, seeks to force the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an initial ruling on every veteran's claim for disability benefits within 90 days and to resolve appeals within 180 days.

The veterans' groups also are seeking interim benefits for veterans whose claim rulings take longer than those time periods."

Very Noted Cal, and thank you. Many of these claims take way longer than 180 days that don't have to, and this needs to change. Some have gotten called back out, before their claims could be processed, as they are still active, until they receive approval of benefits for their PTSD.
