With VA’s new Decision Ready Claim (DRC) Program, you can get a decision on your claim within 30 days after it’s submitted. Watch this helpful video to decide if the DRC Program is right for you and your claim.

If you plan to file any of the following types of claims, work with an accredited veterans service officer or other accredited representative:

• Direct Service Connection Claims: Claims for a disability that was caused by or during your service.
• Presumptive Service Connection Claims: Claims for a disability that VA automatically presumes to be service-connected based on unique conditions or situations you experienced during your service.
• Secondary Service Connection Claims: Claims for a disability that you have as a result of another service-connected disability.
• Increased Disability Claims: Claims for a disability you have a VA rating for that has gotten worse.

With DRC, you and your accredited representative put in the time upfront to make sure your claim is decision-ready at the time of submittal. Once you submit your DRC, there’s no more back and forth with VA. You will have a response within 30 days! To learn more, please visit: www.benefits.va.gov/compensation/drc.asp.

Thank you for your service.
