can someone answer me this question .today i got a letter from my local va and it states as follows .we are still processing your application for COMPENSATION we aplogise for the delay you will be notified upon compleation of processing. what does this mean for me? this letter was dated feb20 07 thank you mark. fyi i had help from my local A.L.

i am in the same boat my unit has just been recently retired and i did not have any quote un quote buddys. i realy didnt get along with any of them and i did try my old units web site. and got no where so i am beetween a rock and a hard place!

i would find out who the dr that handles ssa there are drs for this. i had to go and see one myself that was back in 96 i now get 100% ssdi and i am strugging with the va as we speak. but this is just based on my experince i also had to see a psycoligist for ssa that i had to go see as well. if i did not go i would have got nada. so i thank my lucky stars that i did.

i am in the same boat i too do suffer from severe migranes i get them almost everyday ever since i got out of the arng which was more than 25 rys ago i am getting ssd for them because they keep me from working plus i do have a back condition that occured in the arng. i have been on all the drugs out there even rx ones. i also get 100% ssd.

there last denial was back in 1992. like i said i just reopend my file with them. and the recent letter i got was jan.2007 and my claim is beening looked at right now

i did not have a physical for my discharge not enough evidence but then they sent me another letter telling me that. i did not need to take anymore action and that was the last time i heard from the va i recently got a letter saying that they r looking my claim over as we speak but there might be a delay.

no not the present war. but my unit almost went to grenada. but we had to stand down because the seabees were overthere already. yes i did already put in a va claim. one in 1992.which got closed and i did reopen it now.2 that was just a question about ssd i already know the rest. im just trying to get as much info as i can get. sorry for the confusion
