Im new here to Hadit. Im was living in Jacksonville NC until I lost my home and then was evicted from my apartment because my job would not let me return until my panic attacks are more under control. So i filed for financial hardship and they began expediting my claim with Winston-Salem RO. Being that me and my daughter became homeless they moved my claim to Columbia SC RO bc I changed my address slowing my claim but as soon as it was received it went straigt to decision because my claim was ready to rate before RO sent it Columbia RO. I filed my claim n 11/21/2010 and on 04/20/2011 it went into decision phase.... My question is since my claim is flagged for hardship, about how long at the Columbia RO will my claim take to be done. Is it still the average 16-28 days for hardship claims? I just have been through so much and Im just ready for this to be over so i can have a little peace. I was fortunate enough to qualify for federal funding to receive Neurospychiatric testing in which he dx me with chronic PTSD/ depressive disorder NOS with a GAF score of 40....Basically he said in his report due to expericing 4 year of child molestation and natural diaasters( tornadoes where 2 of our Marines where struck my lightning 1 being medically discharged with a pacemaker) during pre deployment training (when my systoms began to manifest) He also stated that it i very likely that issues from my childhood may also be affecting my now as well. Does this give my direct service connect or will this be aggravated connection... I was dx in service 2006 with depression but not PTSD by the military doctors but was dx with PTSD by military one source while in service because i no longer trusted my command or the militry doctors who had been feeding me medicine that still wasnt helping my depression.... BTW I was OTH discharge due to misconduct... VA did a character of discharge and considered me honorable for VA purposes... I have a buddy statement as well as newspaper articles explaining how our unit saved Antebury Indiana. After 3 weeks of running from tornadoes and a command that didnt care about the life of our Marine. What are your thought, I know I have said alot but it helps sometimes by getting it off your chest...
