Thanks everyone. Makes sense! Hopefully I'll be hearing something soon. My claim has been in gathering evidence phase for 12 months now. I have completed my c&p exam about 2 months ago.

Wondering about when back pay retro would start. From your new open claim date? Or can it be established when you stop working and are considered unemployable from your previous employer and doc's? Since it took me one year of no employment and know idea that TDUI even existed. And I was in and out of hospitals with little to no way of even starting a new claim if I even knew. Basically I haven't worked since 01/13. Started my new claim for TDUI 02/14. Nobody seems to no the answer to this lol:)

Thanks Buck52, I will go check that out. And I here ya! Brokensoldier244th, I checked the blue button too nothing of importance there. Thank you though.

I've seen a lot of people posting their exam records, c&p exam (mental health) being the one I'd like to see. I've been 70% for ptsd since 2008. And filled for IU 2/14. Have had all exams completed for the new claim. I have myhealthvet premium access setup, they are not there. Anything special I need to do? I'm just waiting for a decision which is moving like the frozen pond water we all know of:) P.S. You guys/gals are great here, thank you in advance!

Great information thank you!

How do you get your C&P evaluation notes? Sorry for intruding bh1981. We are in similar situation's,but have know idea what the evaluation physiatrist notes are.

Hi Gastone thanks for the reply. Yes I meet all requirement's for IU. I have my 70% VA and SSDI for current income. I was terminated from my last job Jan 2013 due to my service related condition, which is one award of 70%. I was terminated after My FMLA ended. All documents and letters from previous employer and co workers are in the VA claim as well, they tired and I tried to keep that job for 4 years at the same position, which was pretty much the easiest job (sales from home 90% of the time). It gets real hard to explain why I couldn't even do that for periods of time, but I wont get into that. But it is documented by professionals. I wish I would have known about the letter from Voc Rehab. If I get denied that will be great information thank you!

Mike I just read through my SSDI paperwork and it says 3 years.

Thanks notapb1 wish I'd found this site a long time ago. It sure has been a long journey. This kind of support is great! I will stay in touch with any updates of my own. -Mikemmlj my SSDI did not specify when my next review will be. Does that mean something?

Yes all documents were forwarded from SSDI. Thanks for the reply, I sure hope so. Any idea how Ebenefits works? I'm getting from most people I will know by mail before Ebenefits update's their system. Also would you happen to know how the VA backpays? Would it be from the day I opened the claim or the last day of my last job termination? There was a VA form my pervious employer filled out for my claim as well, I cannot remember what that was.

I'm very new to the online forums so bare with me please. I'm 70% service connected for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and nightmares. est. 2009 I'm currently going for TDIU 100% due to not being able to hold a job. I have been in the process working with the DAV on my claim since 02/2014, have plenty documentation letters, from friends, past employers, and doctors. I've just completed Phyc C&P exam 01/2015. Ebenefits says gathering evidence.. but no further documents are needed. And my claim will be decided soon.. I also was recently awarded SSDI for the same service connected disabilities, very quick first time go. My questions are: How long does it usually take for the VA to make a decision? How does my situation look granted I've already been awarded SSDI for the same reasons? Thanks in advance.
