Detailed Claims Data
About the claims data
We want you to know how the Veterans Benefits Administration (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.
Veterans Affairs (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 2024 alone, the VBA completed more than 2.5 million disability compensation and pension claims for Veterans, an all-time VA record that broke the previous year’s record by 27.0%. 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.

12 month issue-based accuracy
Measures accuracy of individual medical issues contained within a Compensation claim, based on a twelve-month average.
3 month claim-based accuracy
VBA’s national claim-level accuracy rate is determined by dividing the total number of cases that are error-free by the total number of cases reviewed from the prior three months.
12 month claim-based accuracy
VBA’s national claim-level accuracy rate is determined by dividing the total number of cases that are error-free by the total number of cases reviewed from the prior twelve months.
Fully developed claims
Veterans can use the Fully Developed Claim (FDC) process to fast-track their disability compensation claims.
VBA quality assurance sampling methodology
During fiscal year 2015, VBA revised its quality assurance program to reflect industry-standard best practices in statistical sampling and estimation. VBA’s quality assurance program is designed to provide quality estimates within a 5% margin of error with a 95% confidence level for every 12 months of reviews. For more information on VBA’s quality assurance program and claim sampling methodology, please read: VBA accuracy sampling methodology.
