Dear Friend,
The VA recently announced updates to The Decision Ready Claims (DRC) process, which allows eligible San Diego veterans to get a decision on VA claims in 30 days or less by working with an accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO).
You can now file a DRC for the following claim types:
-
Direct Service Connection Claims: Claims for conditions that began during your military service or were caused by an event while serving.
-
Presumptive Service Connection Claims: Claims for conditions that are presumed to have been caused by an event during your military service, even if there is no specific evidence showing a connection between your condition and your military service in your service records.
-
Secondary Service Connection Claims: Claims for conditions that were caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
-
Increased Disability Claims: Claims for existing service-connected conditions that you have medical evidence to show have gotten worse.
-
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Claims: Claims for surviving spouses of Veterans whose death resulted from a service-related injury or disease or who was rated 100% disabled due to service-connected conditions (including entitlement to Individual Unemployability) for 10 years prior to their death.
-
Pre-Discharge Claims: Claims for disability compensation filed by Servicemembers who have less than 90 days remaining before their separation from military service.
Veterans can also contact our San Diego office at 858-455-5550 with questions or for assistance with their benefits.
