To give you some reference. I filed an Agent Orange claim online July 2011. Received a physical and interview in Gainesville Nov 2012 and in January of this year I received notice in the mail that my claim was approved. So 18 months sounds just about right.

I didn't see any change in my medical care. My treatment for ailments is exactly the same now as it was before I was approved. The only difference is no co-pay on some services and no co-pay on some drugs. It wasn't a big amount anyway, you will receive a monthly check and backpay from the day you submitted your claim.
