do you know how long it takes for a decision if the papers went before there drs today ??

Hi,

It is difficult to predict how long it takes. The 'pool' of SPVA medical officers has shrunk in recent years (mainly due to Armed Forces Compensation Scheme - AFCS- decisions being made by 'lay' decision makers and also due dwindling number of 'old system' War Pensioners). However I have known of decisions being made within a matter of days quite recently. So hopefully you shouldn't have to wait too long.
