Try waiting three to five YEARS (or more) for a V.A. decision.
The VA’s solution to their backlog was to start approving practically anybody that applied for way more than they expect. Took a friend of mine 90 days to get approved last year. I applied for compensation for injuries all documented in my medical record and and it took more than 2 years in 2010.
I am in the process of doing that. So far been denied 2 times.
