This compares your timeline to published averages only. It doesn't have access to your actual claim file and can't tell you why a claim is taking the time it's taking. Many things extend a normal timeline — records requests, exam scheduling, multiple conditions. If you want to check on the specific status of your claim, use the official VA claim status tool at va.gov, or reach out to your accredited VSO.
