Hardship Letter

[88 mike]

I sent a a message through IRIS monday and to my surprise I got a call the same day. The question was about my hardship letter and was it approved? I was told that hardship was only for speeding up the decision process but not for the authorization The national average for authorization is 10-40 days. Already had been waiting 165 days at the time of the decision. It did not make any sense to me. Hardship means hardship no matter what step a claim is in. Authorization is part of the V.A. claims process right? So why is the authorization process excluded?

Sad but true all a hardship does it move you up in line and saves some time possibly at the VARO but not for authorization.

Hang in there once it gets to authorization it should be within a month or less.

Writing hardship letters does not have to be difficult, but you need to know what your lender is looking for.

I don't think this has to do with a lender.
