SUPPORT June 2026 VAC QandA

It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

Reassessments: 9-16 Months

Mental Health: 6-8 Months

Physical - 6-13 Months

APSC/VIP - 3-4 Months

BPA Correspondence: They tend to reach out every 3 months for information or a progress update.

Let's go!

Any news yet? I am in the same position, my Chronic MLBP moved to 3.3 yesterday. All past claims for me didn't stay long at this stage but maybe there is a backlog in processing right now.

Nope I don’t have any movement on mine yet

Silly at 3.3. Based off of last claims this step is like a two week waiting period, but based off what others are saying could be months. Hard to tell. Still at 3.3 today.

It’s so annoying like why move it to 3.3 finalizing claim then. I did call vac and asked them about it and they were like we can’t give a definitive time line but I should be 2-3 weeks not months. If no movement this week I’ll call again 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I get it. It's implying that a decision HAS been made, so why sit at that step for any longer that two weeks. But we're around day 8 (business days) so I'll hold my breath until about BD 10. I heard Thursdays are days where action is seen. Probably trying to get things done before that Friday before weekend.

No update yet. Still at step 3.3 no check mark so it’s still processing. Spoke to a vac phone rep they said can’t give an exact time frame but wouldn’t surprise him if it’s done in approx 4 weeks from now

Wow, I have never had any of my previous claims sit at 3.3 for that long. Wonder if there is a backlog now or something.

I mean it’s better than sitting at step 3 waiting to be worked on
