0 TiredCoastie Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Congrats! Sounds like you'll get a decision soon. Mine didn't budge an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 canyonrider Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Stupid question time: If I click the button to download the VA benefits letter, the letter shows "Service connected disabilities -- No." Is that because the claim has not yet closed, or because the claim is about to be denied?

0 Navy04 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I know you are going crazy bud, but just wait and see what happens. Great news for you and keep us up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TiredCoastie Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 And there in lies the problem. Don't know. It could go either way. It's been said that fast decisions are negative decisions, but that's not necessarily the case. Navy04 has the right advice...just wait and see what it says. I didn't see any change in my letters until after the claim was officially closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 canyonrider Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Umm. Evidently it jumped even more. I just tried downloading the letter tonight and it said 70%. I don't know what to say now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TiredCoastie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well, first off it congratulations! That's excellent news! The bigger question will be what you claimed against what was rated as well as any reason you didn't get service connected or rated above 0% for everything you claimed. But 70% from nothing is a great first step. Hopefully you'll get good news from the brown envelope that's en route. My claim has sat at "preparation for decision" for about 5 weeks and I'm still waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
