Logged on to ebennies yesterday morning to see if anything had moved (wasn't expecting it) but was suprised to see "pending notification" so I got very antsy! Around 4 p.m. it moved to complete, and I wanted to see what I got, so I checked the letters - 80% - I did a little dance, spun around, then checked my application that I had locked in and it updated to show 70% PTSD and 30% Hypothyroidism. I updated my dependents and filed that - it was approved within 30 minutes, then I filed a new claim for secondaries on some things that were denied - waiting on the notice before I do a NOD on the rest. Oh, and this happened on my wife's birthday, so I printed out the letter and put it on her pillow - when she went in the bedroom to get changed after work, I suddenly heard a "Thank You, Jesus" and she came running out for a hug! It's nice to finally have some validation.

My regional office is Waco, TX and file was transferred to Lincoln, NE and both were at "preparation for decision" then the Waco part changed to "Gathering of Evidence" then when I looked deeper it said "Lincoln RO Local Opinion" with a 2 month deadline. What is this?

ptsd Tbi (I-Tbi) C&p Progress Notes
mekon1971 replied to mekon1971's question in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams
This is the emergency room record, showing the neck and ear injury, not sure how you can injure your ear without injuring your head, seeing as how they are attached. This is the record the doctor is quoting from my c-file - notice how he left out the part about ear injury and c-spine injury. It even says it is a limited exam! ER Dcmnt.pdf -
What was the break-down?

diabetes Ptsd C&p Progress Notes
mekon1971 replied to mekon1971's question in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams
Harley, No, not a RVN era vet. Most of those exams were from a 2-day visit to the C&P clinic. And like you pointed out, most are clearly documented in SMR's but a few are related to G/W or are probably secondary to documented contentions. If there was an opinion, I put it on here, if there was not, I didn't. I only included checked portions of the DBQ's, if an area had nothing marked in it, I skipped over it to save on my typing. P.S. Thank you for the time you are/have spent on my DBQ's - while I wait, it's nice to know what I need to try to get Nexus letters, buddy letters, etc. for.
