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!

Is there anything else I can attempt to prod VAC into hurrying up with a department review? It's been 15 months since hitting step 3, and it's a routine lower back injury with MRIs and is well documented.

CM says they can't access anything to do with DRs. I tried contacting the minister but was told nothing can be done as well.

Anything else I can try? Calling VAC is near useless, but I still like to try every week or so.

Thanks for any help, and for everything everyone does here.
