I submitted a claim December of last year. My ebenefits account is as follows:
Contentions: hearing loss (New), PTSD to include symptoms of parinoa, anger issue, and irritability (New), anxiety (New), depression (New), sleep disorder ( also claimed as sleep loss) (New), right shoulder pain (New), right knee pain (New), back pain (New), hand injury (New)
Claim Received: 12/12/2013
Claim Type: Compensation
Estimated Claim Completion Date: 12/23/2015 to 09/15/2016I have been sitting in gathering of evidence since June, with all evidence sent to them by August- yet no movement and still only showing gathering. I have already completed my C&P exams for each contention, as they sent me to VES and did them all pretty fast track. My VA office that I go to is the regional one here in Houston.
Does anyone have any idea of how long of a process this will still be? Does anyone have an estimate on percentages for each contention? The only thing that I am aware went well is my exam for PTSD- the Dr told me that she has no doubt and kept apologizing to me.
Thank you for your insight!

Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond. As far as what was submitted- I sent seven years of drs notes and every time that I was seen for each condition was listed, as well as medications prescribed. I initially handed the VA an entire copy of my medical records from my time in service. But because this was hundreds upon hundreds of pages, my wife went through and hand selected many pieces to upload as evidence that only showed the different times I went for my knee,shoulder and so on so forth. I also submitted buddy statements in regards to my PTSD and had my employer submit one as well.
I guess this is pretty close to the way it is in the Army and I just need to "hurry up and wait." I am at the regional office in Houston.
