Thanks for your support and your service as well!

UPDATE! So Friday, 10/31, I had partial approval. I had a couple things complete to get me rated at 50% - which I don't really understand, because I have several 60% factors, that's another fight for another day though! - but I had two things go back to Review of Evidence. The two things were pretty small, residuals of pneumonia and chronic cough. However the rest of this turns out, I'm now officially a disabled veteran!

After eBennies came back up - it says I'm now back in Prep for notification. Hopefully no more going back. Fingers crossed!

I did! I had my C&Ps late June/early July. I was in Phoenix, so thanks to the news crisis, I was passed to an outsourced contractor who sent me to 6 C&P exams in a week.

Thanks! I researched that possibility, and it seems like the only reason it would do that is either because it had to go to the VSCM because the retro is over $25k or the because the VSR is a new and someone is checking their work. It's impossible for my retro to be over $25k since I got out August 1st. The VSR being new seems to be more plausible since it did go through that phase awfully quick. I'm checking ebennies 3-4 times a day now waiting for that status to update!

First off, my claim has progressed swiftly, so I don't want this to sound like a complaining post while I know others have it way worse off! Here's my timeline: Claim Received - 4/24/2014 Under Review - 6/27/2014 Gathering of Evidence - 9/16/2014 Review of Evidence - 9/16/2014 Prep for Decision - 9/16/2014 Pending Decision Approval - 9/30/2014 Prep for Notification - RETURN TO "Pending Decision Approval" - 10/28/2014 So - Evidence was totally submitted on 9/16, and went straight to Pending Decision Approval. It spent two weeks there before going to Pending Decision approval, where it sat for 4 weeks. Then today, it went back to "Pending Decision Approval" with the note, "Change of Status: We determined that your claim needed additional review. If additional evidence is needed from you, you will receive a letter from us explaining what is needed." It's estimating the phase completion date to be 11/2-12/2014. I'm trying not to speculate, but does anyone have any idea why it would rush through Review and prep for decision so fast? And more importantly, why would it get turned back at Preparation for Notification?? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
