Service standards results

We want you to get your decision as quickly as possible. That’s why we set standards for the number of days it will take. We track how we do against these service standards. This is like our report card. We use this information to assess our performance at processing appeals and to help us focus on areas for improvement.

This page shows you statistics on our service standards over the current fiscal year. We update this information 4 times a year in January, April, July, and October. For information on previous years, you can read our annual reports.
