Military Times | Veterans disability claims backlog expected to grow in coming months
Veterans Affairs officials don't know how bad the backlog of veteran disability claims will get this fall, but they know it's getting worse.
The backlog — defined as the number of first-time disability and pension claims that have been awaiting decisions for more than four months — topped 215,000 this week, up 16 percent since July and nearly triple what it was in early 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic in America.
