In looking at times it takes for different claims, I think it depends on the VARO handling the claim. At present,
I believe they are concentrating on Agent Orange claims and Nehmer. When they have those to a
decent level, then I think they will be handling other claims. My agent orange claim for IHD took only
5 months from beginning to end, but thanks to Hadit Elders and members, I had, or made sure, that the VARO
had all evidence I had, or they would need. My first claim, PTSD, took almost a year, even with them having
all the evidence they needed. And it was done in Hartford,CN. The others were out of Pgh office.
And with all claims, I never called or used IRIS. Just my experience only.
