We want you to know how VBA is performing on behalf of our nation's Veterans, their families, and their survivors. The data and status reports on this page are updated weekly and let you see our progress in processing Compensation, Pension, Education, and other Special Mission benefits. You can also download a spreadsheet to see the most recent weeks’ worth of performance data. More information is available in the weekly claims detail data listed below.
VA continues to provide more care, more benefits, and more services to more Veterans than ever before. Across the enterprise, VA has achieved record-breaking numbers in providing benefits and care. In 2023 alone, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) completed more than 1.9 million disability compensation and pension claims for Veterans, an all-time VA record that broke the previous year’s record by 15.9%. Our continued focus on claims processing fundamentals, such as expanded C&P examination capacity, digitization of federal records, and ensuring a robust hiring and onboarding process, contributed to the agency’s ability to meet these goals.
