Top story in the July Veterans Benefits Newsletter:
"VA processes more than 2M disability claims in record time!
We processed more than 2 million disability benefits claims for Veterans in fiscal year 2025, faster than ever before.
We achieved this milestone more than a month faster than the all-time record reached in FY 2024.
Since President Trump took office*, VA has reduced the inventory of backlogged disability claims by more than 74,000. Veterans are also getting their claims processed more quickly — the average wait time for a Veteran’s claim to be processed fell from 141.5 days on Jan. 20, 2025, to 131.8 days on June 21, 2025."
What's left out or glossed over...
1. If the VA's "fiscal year" ended on June 30, only the last 5 of the 12 months were under the trump regime
2. The 2024 "all-time record" was set entirely under the Biden administration
3. That trump-regime "average wait time" is just 7% faster
4. And perhaps most salient, it doesn't say those trump-speedy claims were approved. Wholesale denial of claims could be exceptionally "quick".
*It's regime-mandatory to include his name in ALL messaging.
