The decrease is due streamlining the application, omitting duplicate questions, and wasted white space. The numbers used in this submission are more realistic than previously reported. Previously, the estimated time for a claimant to complete the VA Form 22-1990 on paper was 60 minutes. By removing benefits that do not apply to most applicants and creating separate VA Form 22-1990E and VA Form 22-1990N, VA estimate approximately 15 minutes per application. Additionally, VONAPP submissions were thought to take approximately 45 minutes to complete. VA found that 20 minutes is more realistic.
