REPORT BY THE U, S,



General Accounting Office


The Veterans Administration Can

Reduce The Time Required To

Process Veterans' And Survivors'

Initial Claims For Benefits






Veterans and their survivors making their
initial claims for compensation and pension
generally wait months while VA processes
their claims. Most of the waiting time occurs
while VA obtains additional evidence neces-
sary to properly adjudicate the claims. Some
of the data needed is not within VA's con-
trol,

VA has acted to speed up the claims proc-
essing system by developing an advanced
computer system to modernize the process.
However, more needs to be done to improve
processing time, and this report contains
recommendations to accomplish this.
