  1. How long after your claim was completed did your back pay hit your account?
  2. Thanks everyone. I am currently employed but going to file for disability retirement
  3. Carlie, I was just trying to look for what additional benefits I am eligible for now. I can't seem to find it anywhere on the VA website. Do you have a link or know where to look? Thanks!
  4. Things went pretty quick since my CnP Exam. I just found out today that I was raised from 30% to 70%PTSD and from 10%lumbar Spine to 40%Lumbar Spine. My tinitus was denied. Which I have no idea why but it would not change my combined 80% rating anyhow. Finally some good news!

  7. My claim has now moved to the "Preperation for Notification" phase. Was very quick from pendind decision approval to Prep for notification. Should hear somthing soon!
  8. Yea the reason they say the latest is September because the VA is being told that they have to have all year old claims finished by the fiscal year. If your claim falls within that category or cut off date then consider yourself lucky!
  9. Just looked on Ebenefits and my claim has moved to Pending Decision Approval. I called DAV and they said that by they end of the week they should know what my rating is. Pumped! Hoping for an increase from 30% anxiety disorder to 70% PTSD!
  10. I am also SC for Lower back issues. The back can cause issues with many other areas. My ankles swell up a lot as well as my feet. My right leg goes numb all the time. I just put in for an increase but I think its complete BS how they do the exam and rating.
  11. Thanks John, how long did it take for you to start receiving it? Does it take 15 months like normal claims usually do? What did you do for money to survive in the mean time?
  12. Yes currently working but having major issues at work and am in the process of losing my job.
  13. Thanks I just can't help but speculate, guess, and overthink like im sure everyone does.
  14. Hey everyone. So I just had my exam for PTSD. I am currently rated at 30% for anxiety disorder with alchohol abuse with elements of PTSD. I was rated this back in 2009 and since my symptoms have worsened. My doctor told me a long time ago to file an appeal because he diagnosed me with PTSD the first time I met him. Anyways years later and things worse I finally filed. I should mention I do have a CIB and BSM. I was kind of shocked at my appointment. First i didnt sleep for days leading up to it thinking about everything I was going to have to talk about. Then I got there and he didnt really have me talk about Iraq at all. It was weird. Anyways my doc looked at my exam in the computer (hes a nice guy) and he said based on what he sees I should be rated at 70 but could be 50. It was a PTSD diagnoses with severe depression and anxiety. I was given a GAF of 50 which im never above 48 according to my doctor. He checked the box that would indicate 70% just the one below 100% where it gives the description. What do you think I should expect. The GAF at 50 kinda scares me. Thanks
  15. Yea I Just checked Ebenefits, even though I put in a fully developed claim it originally said my average completion date would be May13-Aug13....Now it says Oct13-Mar14.......Considering I just keep getting letters saying were still working on your claim and no C&P Exam yet I would guess I won't know til next year. Gotta love the system
