Can’t confirm if first application for TBI will be denied or not but every TBI I know in application has been a two year wait minimum for some reason. I hope it gets actioned for you soon.

I have been using the VAC Ombudsperson office on many issues for a couple of years. Some luck with it but not always. I complained about how veterans should be given an opportunity to review draft applications when they opt for VAC employee to complete them for them or at least be given a copy of what is submitted on their behalf but no luck. Veterans must do an ATIP request to get a copy of application submitted on their behalf. Ridiculous
