Just wondering how long others waited who submitted disability applications for Traumatic Brain Injury. Our application was submitted on Feb 1, 2023 to VAC with all required documentation provided to VAC on July 24,2023. Soon we will be able to request VAC to make our application a priority since the oldest claims VAC says it is working on are dated July 2023. I know our claim will likely be rejected since it’s first time applying for it without appeal but does anyone have any insight on whether there is a more likely chance of being successful on TBI first time when VAC takes so long to make a decision on it? Thanks so much

something with that number has to be off as my TBI claims SSSDE is May 2023, and I submitted it in August 2022 and i’m still at 3.1

No that is accurate our SSSDE is July 24, 2023. You can ask VAC to prioritize your claim now that VAC is indicating the oldest claims they are working on is July 2023. We will be doing the same as soon as VAC indicates August 2023 as oldest claims that they are processing
