Question:

Jim, I am waiting for VES to find me a dentist to look at my teeth for a claim. It has been about 9 months and I am still waiting. They keep telling me that they are still looking for a dentist to see me. Is there anything I can do to speed up this process?

Jim's Reply:

Veterans Evaluation Services (VES) is a contractor who provides C & P exams to VA. https://www.vesservices.com/   I can't explain why there is such a delay in evaluating your teeth for a claim, I've not heard of such a thing before but it makes a kind of sense I guess...they don't have dentists in their employ because there are so few dental claims filed.
 

I think your best bet is to find a dentist yourself...maybe the one you usually visit...and ask that person to write a statement about your dental condition and then submit that.
 

Otherwise, you may want to speak with a veterans law attorney here https://www.vawatchdog.org/how-to-hire-a-veterans-law-attorney.html
