Veterans and benefits in Indiana

About 371,000 veterans live in Indiana, using VA's rounded population projection.

At least 116,177 veterans in Indiana received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.

Where Indiana claims are worked

Workload report dated 2026-09-19.

Claims with a Indiana address: 12,985 claims pending, 10.9 percent pending more than 125 days.

For claims with a Indiana address, VA averaged 75.2 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.

Indianapolis regional office: 4,158 claims pending, 8.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 54.9 days pending.

VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.

Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.

What decides Board appeals

Claim Raven's national analysis covers 101,518 condition decisions in 49,876 appeals: 29.5 percent granted, 40.8 percent denied, and 26.6 percent remanded. These are appealed cases, not initial VA claims.

Where the Board rated the medical link, grant shares were 89.7 percent when strong, 3.7 percent when weak, and 1.6 percent when missing. Grant shares were 16.7 percent with one kind of evidence and 56.9 percent with six or more kinds of evidence, among the 80,128 condition decisions where evidence types were identified.

How this directory works

Every active VA-accredited attorney and claims agent is listed for free. Attorneys can claim their listing to add their firm, website and details. Premier and Featured are paid spots above the free listings, labeled "Paid placement." When Featured spots are not sold, they rotate daily among listed attorneys at no cost, labeled "Free rotating spot." Payment never changes the order of the free listings below them.
