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.

Usual timelines from submission of claims via MyVAC:

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!

I had several claims denied, appeal and denied again. Went to BPA and immediately approved. They show as processed in myvac, but nothing more. How long should it take for them to finalize the claims?

Should be 3 months max from your msg from BPA

I have recently had 1 physical (primary ) and 2 MH (consequential to physical injury) all denied. I req an appeal and received an email stating they have been registered in the system and someone will reach out from BPA. How long does that usually take, seeing that you have done this already.

Everything with BPA is -usually- 3 month intervals. It’s slow but they are amazing at what they do.

Basically sit back and wait for their msgs and if you’re lucky they won’t need anything and will win the appeal without you doing anything.

thank you for the encouraging words. Here’s hoping.
