The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) continues to process outstanding claims as quickly as possible, to deliver much needed help to veterans and families sooner.
As part of our commitment to routinely, publicly, and meaningfully reporting on claims processing progress, each month DVA releases updated data via the claims processing page.
A snapshot of June 2026:
- DVA received 10,422 claims in June bringing the total for the financial year to 109,221 claims – 8.0 per cent higher than the previous financial year.
- DVA made 8,860 determinations and has finalised 94,433 claims in the FY, 8.3% per cent less than previous financial year.
- 70,149 claims were with an officer for processing, and 32,925 claims were yet to be allocated for processing.
- The average time taken to process a MRCA IL claim was 364 days in the 2025-26 FYTD (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026), compared to 315 days in the corresponding 2024-25 FYTD.
