Just had a question that I thought maybe someone could help me answer.
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? It was the first update of any sort that I have seen in approximately Seven months. At the very least it shows that there might be some work being done on my claim. Just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience, where maybe they got the DD214 and then the claim was quickly resolved, or if this just means nothing.
I hope that was clear.
Thank you!
By the way my Claim is at the Portland, Oregon regional office.
