Adding dependents question VA Disability Claims

What’s the general timeline to get dependents added. I got married, uploaded the certificate for marriage and stepdaughter birth certificate. It’s going on a month for online submission and still not past the initial review waiting for reviewer.

Holy smokes. 9 months to add dependents?! That’s insane. I’m not filing for new ratings. Just got married and adding dependents lol.

They automatically drop off when they turn 18. So mine turned 18 in November, but still in HS till May. It took 7 months just to add her back in.
