The Appeals Modernization Act has reduced the average time to receive a VA disability decision. Older claims typically took 3-7 years to receive a decision. In order to address this issue, Congress passed the VA Appeals Modernization Act in 2017. On February 19, 2019, VA officially implemented this new law. As a result, VA’s new goal is to complete claims and appeals in an average of 125 days. This reflects VA’s renewed focus to deliver timely decisions to veterans and their survivors.
