I have been waiting since May 2023 to get a much needed surgery.
I have a disability claim that has been “in a docketed status” since October 2021.
Both of these situations should be criminally prosecutable.
Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble getting your disability rating. Don’t know if you are aware, but...
If you belong to one of the bigger veteran groups (American Legion, VFW, VVA, etc) you can call them and ask for a National Service Officer to work your case.
A good VSO can force the VA claims office to stop dragging their feet.
