When will you receive the benefit?
It will take, on the average, six months for the application to be processed. However, the awarded benefit will be effective from the nearest month that the VA first received your application. This means that the first check will be a large one, As a result it is very important to get as error free application in to the VA as soon as possible. If the application is not error free it can significantly delay or cause a rejection of your application. After you complete the application we will review it for errors before it is submitted. This review is very important since most applications contain errors that most be corrected. This is a free service to veterans and their spouses.
