PTSD IMO Questions
I checked VA.gov this morning and see there sending me a SOC for the appeal I submitted on Nov 27, 2018. No fun to get appeal turned down, but I guess it's good things are progressing to the next phase. And I suppose this is more of the denial to eliminate case backlogs. There are a couple of questions that come up so I'll post them here. I know ebenefits.com/VA.gov is notoriously bad for putting up the wrong information... When I look at the page for tracking claims, it says that my appeal for PTSD claim filed on March 22, 2016 was granted, also granted was an appeal for PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder filed on Feb 23, 2016. I was g…

Attorney Claim has opened
Whiled waiting on an HLR RAMP Appeal claim another Open Claim showed up under EBenefits as an ATTORNEY FEE MEMO (New) on July 25. I assume this is a good sign for the Appeal with another claim surfacing to pay attorney fees? How soon normally after this kind of claim surfaces can one expect to see the Appeal closed and retro delivered? Does Veteran get paid first or attorney?

Rating a Mental Health claim
Morning all, I've read my c&p and apparently (according to you all) it is favorable. On box 3A my doctor checked "Occupational and Social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity". Along with checking symptoms that are in both the 70 and 50% categories as well as one symptom in the 30% category. My question is will the rater simply see which box is checked in 3A and give me a rating based on that?

No BVA hearing date yet ... Is this normal?
I have an appeal in with the BVA. In 1980 when I asked for an increase on my 0% rated disability, rather than increasing it, they totally removed it! I believe this is a CUE. I have just recently been awarded my disability @ the 100% unemployability rate. The V.A. even states in my decision that my knee should have been 30% PRIOR to service ... I submitted my NOD for new effective date October 2018 and have not heard a word; except folks @ 1-800 telling me it does not exist; only to recant when I tell them I am looking at the original ... Is this normal?

Looking for some advice...
Hello everybody, I wanted to post this under the RAMP program but seems to be disabled or discontinued area to post. Anways short background is I a filed claim for anxiety and PTSD in Sept. 2016 was denied, appealed to DRO Aug. 2017, accepted to be put into the RAMP program Aug. 2018 in Supplemental claim with the initial completion date to be June 8th 2019. Called PEGGY yesterday to find out if they have had any movement and was told by individual that he really doesn't see anybody in RAMP anymore. Asked if he could dig a little deeper and he stated he would send an inquiry to the RO dealing with my claim (assuming its still in Phoenix AZ). So I checked VA.gov toda…
