When it comes to claims made by women, the gap is currently three weeks. Last year, the gap was one week. Since the number of claims made by female veterans is smaller, at 15% to 17% of the total claims received by Veterans Affairs, this varies a little from year to year. However, we have gone from a gap of 10 to 12 weeks to a gap of 1 to 3 weeks. Female veterans' experience has shown that the processing time for their applications is faster than for male veterans.
