The Monday Morning Working Report is now posted for April 20, 2013, and I must say the numbers are still declining. Overall, there are 886,345 claims pending for compensation and pension entitlements. Of that, 613,469 have been pending over 125 days. That’s 69.2% for those who like percentages. This is down slightly from last week, which you may recall was down slightly from the week before.
What will be of great interest to those veterans with appeals pending is that 412 appeals were cleared from the books last week. The number of appeals pending is now down to 247,792.
Based on the last few weeks, it does seem that the number of claims pending both under and over the 125 day mark, are slowly decreasing. What do you think about this? Is the VA doing enough to clear the backlog quickly? Or will it take too long to process most claims in under 125 days? Let us know what you think! Comment below, or join the conversation on Twitter.
