VES/DBQ question

BLUF: is it typical for the quality review process for VES to last over 1.5 months?

I’ve heard that the words “typical” and “standard” aren’t in the lexicon for the VA claims filing process.

I’m retiring soon and have already gone through the BDD process for my VA claim. All appointments are complete as of 19 Nov 24.

I’ve had MH, gen med (head-to-toe physical), audiology, and TBI exams. The TBI exam findings are the only ones that’ve been uploaded to VA/TOL.

The VES reps have told me that the MH exam is complete, but “shares a contention” with another exam. They also said that the gen med and the audiology exam are undergoing “quality review”. There were several conditions I filed for (due to repetitive deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan).
