Berta, Thanks for all The Insight over the years.. APPEAL Homebound question... Im 70% P&T, IU, SMC k. I am actually Homebound. So, I can't go by the 100 Plus 60 for me. Im well aware of this. I'm on DRO appeal for Entitlement to Homebound SMC s. 7 weeks ago The DRO contacted me Via Email Stating he was going to render his decision. I sent back a Email Stating OK. I had my C&P In Sept of 2015. I read It And Its all In my Favor. Plus, I had my Psychiatrist Fill out a 21-2680 HB/AA form. That too IS all In my Favor. Not counting the All My VA Files from my PhD, And Psychiatrist which Is about 2 feet thick.. Anyway, No Ebenefits, updates at all... SO, I call 1-800 peggy for the heck of It. This Is what I was told from 1-800 peggy. The Guy told me that The Appeal was ready for review. I asked him did the DRO set Up a Hearing that I asked for? His reply, was No and there won't be.. Then I asked Him Is The DRO sending me for another C&P? His reply was, No need too send you as you had one a year ago. Then I asked what would be the time frame of my Appeal being completed? He replied Your appeal will be done, closed, finish before OCT 23rd, 2016... The 23rd Is a Sunday..... I asked how would you know the Exact date. He responded to me by saying, Trust me by Oct 23rd all will be complete and closed..... So, my question Is: What Is your opinion On the 800-Peggy Guy told me? Thanks For any and all comments welcomed... Great site!!!!!

Gastone, Thanks for the Info Brother.. Yes, my state has all the perks...

Been reading this site for years. Great Info. Just joined today. I applied for SMC s Housebound in April 2015. Got Denied in July 2015. I filed A NOD for a DRO Hearing. NOD dated Aug 4, 2015. I represent myself. Since june 2009 rated 70%, P&T, TDIU, SMC k. For Severe Chronic PTSD, Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, Severe Anxiety, Bi-Polar, Depression. All Service Connected. **I Already know that I Do Not qualify for SMC s rate on the 100%, plus 60% rule!!** I am In fact Housebound. Last Sept the DRO sent for a C&P/DBQ. 3 days after that I went on Myhealthevet read the report. All In My favor all positive. I asked my VA Psychiatrist to fill out a VA Form 21-2680 ( not sure it the form number right). But the Form for HB/AA... All In my favor again... that's not counting the 2 foot thick folder I sent In for this claim. ****My Question is: The DRO Emailed me 6 weeks ago. He stated that If I had no further questions he was going to render his decision on Entitlement to Special Monthly Compensation at the Housebound Rate. The same day I emailed back stated no questions. You can render your decision.*** Since then I called 1 800 Peggy. Lady stated I see a appeal that's all she said she sees. Which Is non sense. No updates on Ebenefits at all, No SOC, and No Award letter. I asked for a hearing and apparently I'm not gonna get that. I'd never get down there to begin with... What could the DRO be doing with my claim??? 6 Weeks since he was going to Render his Decision?????? I check the Monday morning workloads. They have Done 136 Apeals in 6 weeks. I've heard Nothing... Input Is Greatly Welcome. Thanks In Advance, Cricut
