Delayed Benefits Frustrate Veterans
Hundreds of thousands of veterans, many approaching the winter of their lives, await VA disability claim decisions that will provide or deny a key source of income. The monthly payments, which range from $115 to $2,471 for individuals, are available to veterans of any age whose disability is "a result of disease or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service," according to the Veterans Benefits Administration. Nearly 400,000 disability claims were pending as of February, and the waiting time for appeals averages nearly two years.
