  1. About the time I filed on Parkinson's it was in the news about how far the VA was behind on claims pending so my thinking is they put it in appeal to make it look on paper like it was no longer pending. Yes I do have a rep. Also have a congressman checking on my status. I keep being told once it gets to appeal it just takes time (400+ days). I also been trying to get results of other C&P exams. I was told they could be in my CPRS file. Couldn't find anything on the VS site. From what I can find it's a system the non VA DRs use to file their reports to the VA. . The C&Ps were done by VETERANS EVALUATION SERVICES
  2. The PDF is from medical record progress notes. When I filed on Parkinson's I was told It wouldn't take as long for it to go through as other claims. When I didn't hear from it after several calls to the RO i found that it had been combined with my other claims on appeal
  3. I managed to get a copy of a Veterans Evaluation Services C&P exam, It diagnosed me with Parkinson's & said it was not service connected. I am agent orange exposed, Isn't Parkinson's a presumed disease associated with Agent Orange exposier. Later I got a copy if my C File, It said the same thing. See attatched file.CUE pdf.pdf
  4. Like I said B4 my case closed Nov 18. No snail mail 10 days later. Called the RO this morning. I was told the case was cancled & combined with an appeal & that takes 400+ days. On ebenefis the case is listed as complete. Is this normal? Sounds to me like cooking the books. My Congressman's office will hear from me Monday. Any advice on what else I should do?
  5. My case closed acording to Ebenefits 11/18/14. Waiting for Snail mail for results, Checked download VA letters. They ain't changed. I was told it took a while for the letters to change.
  6. Thanks, The exam went good. The friend helped no end. He's full of BS but he was serious at the exam, The DR said that exam should end my problems with the VA.. Afraid to get my hopes too high. My status did go from gathering of evidence to preparation for decision in the past week.
  7. Thanks so much for your reply. My fear is that they will think that I'm lieing about my condition & trying to beat the system. I probablly do not say all should. The friend did call Congressman Gohmerts office on my case. That did speed things up.
  8. The VA is sending me to a non VA Dr (Veterans Evaluations Services) in Nacogdoches,TX for mental health C&P exam Wednesday (10/29/14). A friend insists that he drive me to the exam & be with me during the exam as my advocate. It only 40 miles & I drive there with no problem, I'm afraid he will not tell the truth. He says I'm too proud to tell what all I have trouble with. I would like others thoughts about this,
  9. Now when I try to log in to ebenefits I put my user name & password in & click login after a while I get this; Authentication Failed SELECTED APPLICATION IS UNDER MAINTENANCE The application you selected is currently unavailable because it is undergoing maintenance. The maintenance should be completed shortly. Please wait some time and then click here to try again. SELECTED APPLICATION
  10. I'm thinking they didn't even look at the VES exams..I never got travel pay for them, I couldn't find it on the claim where they listed the evidence they used to make the decision. I'm considering sending a copy of the exams with parts hi lighted with my appeal. It's just that I don't know if I'm supposed to have it.. Don't want to get the DR in trouble.
  11. I was denied on everything. Called Peggy. all she would say is if I don't agree send the NOD. Not a wasted call . I Requested a copy of my C&Ps. Supposed to get them in 4-6 weeks. I'm gona appeal. I looked at the evidence they used to decide my claim & The VETERANS EVALUATION SERVICES exams aren't listed & I have a copy of them.(2 exams one in Lufkin & one in Beaumont0 The exam in Beaumont has PTSD Checked & says I'm taking meds for it, I lucked out getting a copy of those exams. I ask VETERANS EVALUATION SERVICES to send me a copy when I had the exams, They said i'd have to ask the Houston RO. The RO said I'd have to wait Till the claim was finished. I mentioned that to one of my VA DRs. The DR pulled it up on the computer & made me a copy.. I scanned them into my Desktop , Laptop & my external hard drive. Don't wanta loose them.
  12. Got the envelope today Denied everything . I'm gona appeal. Called Peggy all she would say is that if I disagreed with the decision send a NOD. While I had her on the phone I ask for copies of my C&Ps, She said she would file a request I should get them in 4-6 weeks. Does it take an appeal as long as a claim??
  13. My Claim completed Sat 12/15/12, This is the following MONDAY & no change in my AB8 letter. I also checked benefits explorer & payments & my bank----NOTHING CHANGED. I've been at 40% SC for a while, How long does it take for the Houston RO to update the AB8 letter?. I'm thinking I was denied. Guess all I can do now is wait for the envelope & appeal if denied. Anybody got any other idea whats going on? I know Ebenefitsis not that reliable at times.

He called & was told I was denied on hearing loss & that the others (anxiety depression IU ) was pending. Then why did they complete the claim???
