For the first time at a Stand Down event in California, a 'Claims Clinic' will be offered. National VA staff will be on site to help veterans file claims for disability compensation.
It can take, you know, six months on up... I filed a claim back in February and it still hasn't been adjudicated so we know firsthand how long this whole process can take.
