  1. Today i called the 800 number and the clerk told me my claim went to the rater on sept 7th that explains why my claim moved backwards to preparation for decision from pending decision approval. Question why would she say it went to the rater on 9/7/12 when vso told me it was ready to rate july 22 when it was in the pending decision phase? The Average decision phase in Seattle is 57 days and notification phase is 29 days that would make it Sept 18th for preparation for notification. wonder why all the jerking around 711 days and counting for initial claim. Any ideas much appreciated.

  2. Once in a while you get a letter from your regional office stating the following Your claim is awaiting review of all the development to determine if additional actions are needed. Once the claim is determined to be ready for a decision, it will be delivered to our rating team for a decision. The development phase takes approximately twelve to fourteen months. The rating decision phase takes approximately two to three months and the notification phase takes approximately sixty days. A notification letter with a copy of the rating decision will be sent to you once it is completed.

    If you have one of the following: foreclosure notice, eviction notice and or a utility shut off notice. We can expedite your claim due to financial hardship.

    We are working on claims in the order we received them oldest to newest. Thank you for your service and patience. Now let me show you how the bold statement is false claimant no 1 files their claim Sept 2010 Claimant #2 files in Nov 2010 claimant # 2 waits 600+ days!! bingo claim gets processed while claimant #1 is pending 700+ days. If my math serves me correct claimant no#1 should have been processed first?? Why does the VA be untruthful with the veteran i rather you tell me to my face "Hurry up and wait" lol!!!

  3. Today i checked ebenefits and for a few hours i got this message

  5. No my fellow vets my initial claim is at 695 days now i received a reply from the congressional aide and the copy of what the va wrote on ebenefits it says the congress claim is closed ans appeal is possible. i did not agree with the va answer to the stalling of my claim and i have proof i just want to get someone in the regional office to move their butt and quit looking the the claim once a month and then putting it back in the filing cabinet.

    Thanks for any and all replies

  9. Now i am totally confused again i spoke with the records management division today they told me they sent my medical records to the RO MARCH 1,2010, JUST HERE ON 7/23/12 the VSR at the RO said they have requested the Service Entrance exam 5 times since 11/29/10 and that was what was holding my claim up so somebody is not being forthcoming there is a big F-150 Engine stall now on the va freeway not sure if a another trip to the RO is in order. :(
