The VA is currently facing a severe backlog in claims. If you are in the process of filing a claim or submitting evidence, follow these simple rules to help the VA process your claim easier and faster.
1. Never staple your paperwork. If you staple them, the VA has to unstaple them before the papers can be scanned. Save everyone time--and save some staples! Never use any adhesives on your papers, either.
2. Submit pharmacy summaries, not labels. Go to the pharmacy and ask for a printout for a specific date range.
3. Use 8.5 by 11 inch paper only.
4. Put the patient's name and social security number on everything! Include middle initials or names if you have a common name or if you know of someone with the same first and last name in the VA system.
