I can't believe what just happened. My husband submitted a claim through ebenefits in January 2015 after beginning treatment for PTSD at the VA in the fall of 2014. In early May 2015 he got a call to schedule his C&P exam. He had the exam on the Friday before the long Memorial Day weekend. Checked ebenefits on Tuesday morning and the case had been closed already. He was given 100% for PTSD with an extra year of retroactive pay back to January 2014. This was accomplished in one business day! I almost fell off my chair when I logged on to ebenefits.

Just over 4 months start to finish and a 100% rating. Still waiting on the BBE but the ebenefits letters and payment info are available and I have faith that it will come soon.

The VA outdid itself on this one. I have no idea how or why but thank God. We were really struggling and this is an incredible blessing.

mmbe8870,


Congratulations to you and your husband. I wish all VA claims were processed as quick as your husband's claim.

Good luck to both of you and please express my appreciation to your husband for his service.

Congrats on a fast win....good news!

This is the new VBMS at work. A completely automated claim with word-searchable .PDFs as Braille to lead the blind raters to a correct decision. In the old VA model, before they got busted and forced into electronic conformity with the rest of the US Govt., they could operate their paper system and it appeared to manipulate it into delays that separated evidence from c-file until after a decision had been rendered. This gained everyone (except the Vet) time to appeal it and ensures work for everyone-for eternity. $45,000/ year VSO service reps in funny hats across the fruited plain are not amused by VBMS. It's far too fast for them. Add in attorneys and you can see why they are losing membership and being marginalized. I can see it here at work subtly in that there are far more success stories on an annual basis than in previous years. The days of taking 21 years (and still counting) to get it right are getting far fewer -as they should.

VBMS is the USS Enterprise at Warp 5 because it is now a matter of bytes electronically with enough space to move from Point A to Point B. Except for a little human intervention to ensure everything is proper, the computer spits out the decision based on the W-S .PDFs. It cannot cheat. If it did, it would have to come up with a reasons and bases section predicated on illegal law. You can't not program 38 CFR and 38 USC into it. That, and the M-28 1MR, as actually written and correctly interpreted, absent any "human intervention", will probably yield USB Allison Hickey's perennial rejoinder "125 days and 98% accuracy by 2015". At that time, bonuses might be in order but not before.

Being an eternal optimist born on April Fool's day, I say hooray.

Congratulations guys, you did it. You guys deserve it. Life just got a whole lot easier.

Just please take care of your Husbands health condition, and everything else will be just fine...

Good luck, and God Bless.
