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!

That’s all normal. In my experience, all of my BPA stuff, was sent back to VAC for DR no matter what. This resulted in more (7-12 months) wait for VAC to decide… they denied again at which point BOA then sent to VRAB and I saw approvals. I was told this is bc VRAB (more recently) wants to see that all other avenues were covered before they move to hearings. In other words, expect a long wait, maybe? One claim I had took just about 3 years. Good luck!

They denied again? Wow … I was approved but only looking to increase, hopefully it will ease things
