The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has unveiled the Decision Ready Claims (DRC) initiative that promises to deliver faster disability claims decisions for claims for increased compensation (claims for increase). The DRC initiative is a collaborative effort between VA and Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs). Veterans who choose to submit their claim under DRC can expect to receive a decision within 30 days from the time VA receives the claim. VSOs will ensure all supporting evidence is included with the claim submission, which will allow claims to be assigned immediately to claims processors for a quick decision. VA hopes to eventually expand the types of claims accepted under the initiative.
