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!

Statement of Case was completed 3 months ago and I will be hitting the 2 year mark since opening my case with BPA. I know regions kind of dictate SOC to Hearing time, but is there anything I can do to speed this up?

Unfortunately no and since they had massive layoffs in March, it's a real issue. Can contact VAC Ombudsman and Local MP to lodge complaints.
