How long does it take to get your VA claim back?

On January 31st I will have been out of the Marine Corps for 1 year. I was Medically retired from wounds sustained in Combat. It only took them 3 months to tally my initial findings. However, durring my final physical they found a whole lot more wrong with me. I have sent in the required documents and all that but after a year i have grown pretty inpatient. Anyone been through this that could give me a realistic time frame?

I don't know if this link will help get you the info you need. My claim was filed through the VA hospital and I think it took about a year to go through. I was awarded payment from the date the claim was filed til it was approved so I initially got a check for over $22,000 then my monthly payments kicked in. http://www.benefits.va.gov/compensation/ Hope that helps, good luck and thank you for your service!
