Hi 63Sierra, I had this on my claim. If you mentioned that you could not work because of service connected injuries or illnesses they will automatically request that you fill out the form. Shyne-I

Congratulations MarineJay!! Shyne-I

I had a QTC exam 2/22/2014 and I faxed a hand written letter asking for a copy of the results of the exam. I just identified myself with my name, social etc. They indicated on ebenefits that they received the results of the exam on 3/4/2014. I received my copy of 3/7/2014. Shyne-I

You can fax over a written request or you can send a written request by certified mail. If you call the Toll Free number they have a recording on how to request records for your exams or files. Shyne-I

Congratulations on getting your retro pay!!

Congratulations Private Bryan!! Glad you got your increase...If you didn't submit the evidence of your inability to work, the VA would not have inferred a TDIU claim. If you made a statement that you were no longer able to work because of your service connected disabilities that should have inferred a claim for TDIU and if they didn't you should be able to file a NOD on the fact that they did not sympathetically evaluate your claim because if they would have, they would have sent you a development letter and told you to fill out the online application for TDIU. But then again, with it being a FDC claim, I don't know if they would suggest that you submit more information because that would have taken it out of FDC status, JMHO. Maybe someone else will have more information or a better suggestion for you. Happy for you anyway :) Shyne-I

Good luck!! Don't forget to check your AB letters. Shyne-I

Hi eagle1012004, I believe you have to be 100% P&T or atleast schedular before you receive commissary benefits. I'm nt completely sure, but I'm sure someone else will chime in. Shyne-I

Hogchick and ncjoe1970, I actually filed my SSDI clam in April 2012 but I hadn't worked since September 26, 2009. I filed once before in January 2010 but, I didn't provide the medical evidence because I didn't want to believe that I could no longer work at the age of 38!! I was denied the first time so I got a lawyer for the reconsideration and was denied once again!! My hearing was August 7, 2013, I called the 800 number and was told that my case had moved really fast from hearing to decision to payment processing! My retropayment was deposited in my checking account on September 6, 2013!! and they paid me from a year before my filing date April 2011. They judge found me disable since October 2009. I didn't have to wait the 5 months to get my first payment because I was disable since 10/09. If the judge found you disable November 2013, you would have to wait until after March 2014(5months) to be eligible for April 2014 and you would receive your payment for April in May. You will receive your payment on a Wednesday, which Wednesday depends on your birthday. The 1st thru the 10th is the 2nd week of the month. The 11th thru the 20th is he 3rd week of the month, and the 21st thru the 31st is the 4th Wednesday of the month. I don't understand why if you filed in September they didn't fine you disabled until November unless you or whoever told you meant 2012 instead of 2013, or unless your last day of work wasy October 31, 2013???...

Thank you so much Carlie for the reassurance....My faith waivered for a moment but I know that fear is not of God. But thank you all for the kind words and I will update when there's movement! :) Shyne-I

Sounds promising!! Good luck :) Shyne-I

Hello Hadit family, I need reassurance from you all right now.... I have managed to keep my case at the RO with a reconsideration, a NOD, and a Reopen; how this was possible without it moving to BVA.... I guess it would be a good thing if I finally get SC for Fibromyalgia and my secondaries. It just scares me because it shows that I still have a formal appeal in ebenefits but it showing still at RO and the appeal was for Fibromyalgia. I was sent an IRIS response stating that I would need to either drop the appeal of Fibromyalgia or let it be process in the reopened claim dated 9/18/2013. Just to refresh memories, my original claim was filed 7/11/2012; I was denied 4/10/2013; I sent in a notice of disagreement, but I specified that I disagreed with the C&P examiner's opinion and the fact that she wasn't a medical doctor or a specialist in Rheumatology and that I wanted a new exam, but of course that was discounted. I submitted N&M evidence so they classified it as a reconsideration. I was denied again on 9/11/2013 and given a SOC. I submited more evidence and didn' get a response, so I filed a formal appeal on 11/15/2013. On 12/10/2013, I received a letter stated that I was previously denied all of my contentions and that the appeal period had expired, therefore I needed to submit N&M evidence in order to reopen my claim. Of course this was crazy to me, but as requested I submitted more N&M evidence and it sat as a reopened claim from 9/18/2013 to under review on 12/19/2013 to Prep for decision on 3/18/2014. Oh forgot to mention that I also filed for TDIU with this claim and an increase in sinusitis. The C&P exam results were received on 3/4/2014 the 21-8940 was received on 3/11/2014, but they say that they did not receive the N&M evidence for the Fibromyalgia and the 2 secondary conditions!! This is what worries me....can someone please pat the back of my hands and let me know it's ok....that ebenefits just wasn't updated and you are fine. Shyne-I

Congratulations to you and your husband!! So glad to see the success stories flowing again!! My claim just went to Prep for decision so I'm praying for my success story soon. Enjoy the win and the retro and takes the time to relax and unwind. Shyne-I
