Currently it is taking on the average 135 days to first notification. You have one year to provide a supplemental or higher level response. Get what the VA is requesting as far as possible. I have been doing this work for 15 plus years and process 10-15 claims a week. I have seen a lot of different cases, do your homework, avoid the “apply, deny and hope you die”
