[Moving Out Of State While Waiting For Appeal]

I'm planning on moving out of state while my claim is in appeal. What will happen to my claim in appeal?

I have a lawyer will I still be able to keep them or will I have to get a new lawyer in the new state?

Thank you for the response.

[E-Benefits, Appeal Timeline]

On E-Benefits "appeal detail" page, under timeline of your appeal. It shows appeal pending and BVA next to it.

If I requested a DRO review should it say something other than BVA?

[New Ptsd Claim I Never Applied For]

I recieved in the mail today paperwork for a PTSD claim that I never applied for. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and fillout the papers? I have claims in for depression and schizophrernia.

Could they have taken what I have stated about my schizophrenia as me having PTSD?

If I dont apply for the PTSD now will that hurt my claims for it in the future if I'm found to have it later on?

Thanks for any and all help.

[Pension Without C&p Exam?]

I recently recieved a pension without getting a C&P exam. I'm wondering if this is common?

And if this good for my case for compensation?

[Is My Disability Service Connected?]

Did you file a claim within one year of discharge and did you ever get treatment or have documented symptoms of schizophrenia while in the service? I filed a claim for schizophrenia within one year of discharge. I got 10% back in 1973 and the VA did ignore my IMO, so it is not a cake walk. I had in-service treatment records and they still tried to shaft me. I agree with what Pete said about getting your ducks in a row. You might even get a lawyer if you claim is denied. What kind of discharge did you get?

I recieved an Honorable discharge. No I didnt recieve treatment or have anything documented while I was in the Army.

[Is My Disability Service Connected?]

Within my first year of discharge from the Army in 2000, I saw a Doctor for mental health problems and they prescribed to me the Schizophrenia medicine zyprexa. That doctor and all the others I have seen up to now, couldnt give me a defenit answer to what was wrong with me. Until I began hearing voices and had to be sent to a psychiatric ward in 2009, I was diagnosed as being a paranoid Schizophrenic with depression.

My questions are: Does me seeing a Doctor within one year of discharge and being put on Schizophrenia medication make a good claim for service connected disability? Also does never getting a diagnoses from any of my doctors up until I started hearing voices and was diagnosed as being Schizophrenic hurt my claim?
