Nehmer Cases Question
When did the old Nehmer cases start delaying the regular claims processes? As it has been stating that the old Nehmer cases are supposed to be completed this month, I am trying to calculate the start and finish date to come up with the total month in delay from the regular claims to give A rough estimate on the completion date of my current claim compared to my claims that were decided last year. Don't know if this makes a since to anyone. If in fact this is true, I would expect a serious dent in all the regular claims, however I doubt very seriously if they are just about done from what the the 800# and a iris report stated the other day. Could be they are talking a…

Dermatologists....
Hello All, I live in the Fort Collins, CO area, and I'm having a hard time finding a Dermatologist or Podiatrist willing to give me a nexus letter. None of the doctors that I have spoken with (actually, their receptionists) are willing to touch anything related to the VA. Here's my issue...I have a 'severe fungal infection' that I've been told is not curable. My SMR's state this, and I do have private treatment records since I've been out, which the VA has acknowledged. The VA in their infinite wisdom, stated that I didn't have this form of Athletes foot, but instead, I have hyperhidrosis. I read that and said to myself, "What the #$%^ is that?" I googled it, and I do…

tdiu Tdiu Claim Status
My TDIU claim status is currently at "preparation for decision" & has been in that status since 05/2011! I filed my claim in 10/2010. I don't understand how the VA can take so long on a claim like this knowing a veteran can no longer work! It does not make sense to me & I know the VA never makes sense on anything they do, but they try to publicly say they're trying to improve the claims process & help our veterans receive the benefits they deserve, but that's all BS! Is there anything I can do since my claim is almost 15 months old? I'm only 33 & have a wife & son that I feel I have let down. Any help, comment, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ptsd 100% P&t, Prior Fed Employee... Social Sec. Disability?
I recently got blessed with 100% P&T mostly as a result of my PTSD and depression. I was forced to retire early because of my sicknesses, but I do get some retirement pay from the fed gov.

I Am Confuse
Hello everyone, I got an appeals for a eed of my claim I already had a dro hearing which granted me about 18 months retro and issue a statement of the case saying for them to go back any farther than 18 months I have to prove a cue was made in the decision.

How long once you submit you TDIU claim does it take for that to get processed I have not filed for that yet as I am still waiting for my claim to get rated but it shouldnt be much longer before I get my rating back I think it should be high enough for me to submit my TDIU claim I am just wondering how long that takes and how that works. Just trying to get a little info on TDIU.
