Do Increase Claims Move Faster?

[Rakkasan]

I was just curious if Request for Increase claims move faster than new claims. I understand that different ROs and certain claims take longer but I was talking to another vet and we didn't quite know the answer. I assumed they would move faster because the VA typically already has the evidence from the past and are now looking at more or newer evidence.

I think the quickness of the claims processing has more to do with the VA locations than actual workload.

I've had 2 new claims & 1 "increase" claim. They all took the same amount of time, which is a little under 3 months. 

BTW, my claims were done in Florida. Maybe the backlog isn't as bad. Although my last 2 C&P's were done on Saturdays.
