VA Form 20-10207: Priority Processing Request
VA Form 20-10207 is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Priority Processing Request. VA's form page says to use it to request priority processing for your claim due to certain qualifying circumstances or status, and the page heading calls it the priority processing request form for an existing claim.
The instructions list circumstances and the evidence to send with each, if available or not already on file with VA: extreme financial hardship, a terminal illness, an ALS diagnosis, being very seriously or seriously injured or ill during military operations, age 85 or older, former prisoner of war status, and Medal of Honor or Purple Heart recipients. The form also asks about homelessness or the risk of becoming homeless.
The PDF is five pages: two pages of instructions and mailing addresses, then Sections I to VII. VA's page says the request can also be submitted online. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
