Your claim is being processed in the order it was received. Each claim moves at it's own pace as the information required is requested and received. Information required that is only available outside of the system is out of the control of the claims investigator and must be waited upon for the individual or organization who has it to relinquish it. VA wants you to have what you are entitled too. They do not want those who are not entitled to receive benefits as this robs those who are. To that end the investigations often seem slowest to those who need them the most. I agree it can be frustrating. The thing to keep in mind is when you do receive your claim it will be retroactive to the date you filed to get it.

Instead of calling in why not go into the benefits office at the VA hospital nearest to you. I find that talking to a live person is a lot better than talking to someone on the phone.
