Veterans and benefits in New York
About 662,000 veterans live in New York, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 155,261 veterans in New York 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.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 330 people in New York receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Where New York claims are worked
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a New York address: 15,895 claims pending, 12.3 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a New York address, VA averaged 80.8 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
New York regional office: 1,726 claims pending, 13.4 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 72.5 days pending.
Buffalo regional office: 1,331 claims pending, 13.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 71.3 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.

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.
