When Should You File a BDD Claim? (Exact Timing Matters)

Category:

You can qualify for BDD—and still miss it. Because timing matters more than most people realize. BDD—Benefits Delivery at Discharge—has a strict window. You must file your claim between 180 and 90 days before separation. Too early? The VA won’t accept it as BDD. Too late? You fall out of the program and into the standard process. This window is what allows the VA to begin processing your claim while you are still on active duty.
