Any experience with how long from time of letter to receiving back pay should they award additional rating?

  7. Does This Mean The Amc Service Connected Claim?

    Forgive my mental block. I inquired through IRIS about the status of a case that was remanded by the BVA to AMC, and received the following response: The Appeals Management Center has completed all development actions required by the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) in its remand, your appeal is pending review by a Rating Specialist.

  8. Sfia

    Maybe you have not heard this VA acronym. SFIA is "Spin Factory in Action". Below, is an example. While the current VASEC has overwhelmingly INCREASED the backlog, the VASEC makes it sound like just the opposite. One example: http://fcw.com/articles/2012/04/20/va-claims-backlog.aspx

My claim was filed one year ago and has been sitting in the "Preparation for Decision" phase since late August of 2011, today I called and talked with the VA, how delightful of a conversation and completely unhelpful that was. However, I did find out that according to them and the lovely eBenefits website they just Received my DD214 on 4/16/2012. This was submitted with the original claim and not sure why they would just be receiving it again. Does anyone have any clues as to what this might mean?

    Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.

    Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg How To Post

    Post a clear title like

    ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of  ‘I have a question."

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    Note:

    Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
