The VA announced that it would move up processing for dying veterans immediately.

In addition to terminally ill veterans, anyone with cancer; experiencing homelessness; older than 85; experiencing financial hardship; or a Medal of Honor or Purple Heart recipient will have processing priority.

@RedTRaccoon Sadly, of the clients I represent with terminal cancers (one of whom died three weeks ago), VA has expedited none of their claims. I've seen zero evidence they are actually moving up processing, but it did make for a nice press release. It's very frustrating.
