These teams include Disability Services Assistants, Benefits Program Officers and Disability Adjudicators – the people who move applications from intake, to adjudication and on to payment. While still early days, our trial Veteran Benefit Team completed decisions in 17 weeks on average, from application submission to decision (compared to previous 50.5 weeks).
