  1. I've had multiple claims (including a dependency claim) going through at one time, and I found that they would usually wait for the claims to finish at the same time. That was my experience with that. I'm currently waiting on a claim that has been jumping back and forth for a little while. It's likely to make a big jump if they have done something with it. Any movement is good news with the VA! :)

    good luck!

  2. 2 weeks ago I called my VA rep because my claim finally moved from gathering of evidence to pending decision approval. She told me to sit down, and told me that I got it: 100% P&T and that they were back paying me to a year ago!!!! I was shocked beyond believe. Also, last Tuesday a VA worker from the regional office called me to verify my address to send the decision. Between now and then the status has jumped to preparation for notification to pending decision approval. Then, 10 min ago it went back down to preparation for decision!!! What?!? I called my VA rep and she said that it still says 100% P&T, but that maybe they had to change the wording on the cover letter?!

    I can't stand how it jumps around so much, especially after being told I got the 100%! My nerves are shot, and my anxiety is through the roof! Anyone else experience this?

  3. Bless your heart!! I would recommend doing what your VSO says. They usually have the experience! I have a claim going through now which is on the preparation for notification stage for PTSD from MST. If you reported it, went to the hospital for it, treatment centers, etc. Then it will all be in your records. I wouldn't worry about that. As far as the bills and not working is concerned, have you applied for Unemployability? As you know, these claims take a while to get through, and if you're like me (which you sound like you are) then you could make yourself crazy thinking about what if. Let it happen, and let your VSO do their job.

    Good Luck!!

  4. Spartan3,

    Thanks so much for your post! I was googling through posts because I am in the same exact boat. Your post really cleared things up for me. I am 70% now but my VA rep told me last week that I got the 100% P&T, I was SOOOOOO happy because she said they should retro it back to last year! Now my claim in ebennies has went from notification to decision approval a couple times, but a lady from the regional office called me last on tuesday to verify my address to send the decision. I can feel that it's so close, yet I am having such anxiety watching ebenefits!

    Again thanks for you post, and congratulations! (I know this was a while ago, but I bet it feels good to not have to worry anymore!)
