VA\u2019s claims accuracy rate has risen to more than 92%. To date, VA has completed 375,961 PACT claims in FY25.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the leadership of President Trump, we are strengthening the department so it works better for Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors,\u201d said <strong>VA Secretary Doug Collins<\/strong>. \u201cVA\u2019s claims processing productivity is the highest it has ever been, and we look forward to continuing to provide record levels of service to Veterans and VA beneficiaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"tni-attribution\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-processes-one-million-disability-claims-faster-than-ever-before\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.
