Veterans Affairs Launches New Initiative to Reduce Disability Claim Processing Tim
Tuesday, Aug. 27th 2013 12:00 PM
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has launched a new initiative called Acceptable Clinical Evidence (ACE) that could eliminate in-person medical examination for some Veterans. This would shorten the time it takes to process disability compensation claims. The initiative is part of a five-year transformation plan to eliminate the claims backlog and process all claims within 125 days by 2015.
