Thank you Georgiapapa I appreciate it and sorry for all the dumb and or repetitive questions you guys hear all the time. But hopefully with everyones knowledge and advice and my personal experience hopefully after its all said and done I too will be able to help fellow Vets.

Ah yes hurry up and wait...I was also trying to research that and come up with some conclusions...I was wondering the same thing myself if its easier or faster to deny or approve a claim I feel like the evidenve I provided should be at least enough to get the ball rolling somewhere. I feel like they are creating more work or problems by denying more claims because they have to know that most if not all will file an appeal and create even more work and backlash from Vets and cause more problems in the public eye. Again this is just a guestimate with nothing to back that up what so ever. Another thing I was wondering is it easier or the same with Vets getting out and filing claims now then for alot of the older vets seens how medical records and other documents are saved and tracked alot better?

Yes I do have a premium account and Im sure I have worn out that thing like everyone else. Who is Peggy? And how do I get a hold of this person? Im also going through the Indianapolis VA if that means anything I know they have been backlogged for sometime. And yes I agree a year is a short time in VA land but unfortunatley a year feels alot longer when everyday is a struggle.

First I want to apologyze if I am about to ask a question thats been asked a million times on here. I tried doing a little research myself on the internet and I have read dozens of similar posts on this issue. But Im hoping I can get a perspective of someone with something similar going on or maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how it works or what to expect at this point. I filed back on 28OCT2014 and since then not a whole lot has happened I havent been scheduled any exams I did send any medical records I could get a hold of to the VA when I filed. This was also back when it didnt show what you actually sent like now but I did look at account activity and according to that it does say that I did send in said documents. Also I believe the beginning of April my claim moved to Preperation for Decision and havent heard anything yet even tried the 800 number of course its the same general response answers, Ive also tried the chat, sending in questions and even sending 2 letters to 2 different VA processing centers. So I guess my question is A should I be worried that after this long I havent heard anything especially about any exams. And B I guess is there anything else I can do at this point or do I just sit and wait like everyone else expect the worst and hope for the best? I also stated in my letters that if things continue the way they are Im going to start losing everything because its just getting too hard to keep up after so long. I know thats probably every single person who is currently still waiting on something so I dont want to think my hardship is above anyone elses Im just getting overwelmed and am tired of my family seeing me stress and more importanly Im tired of seeing my family go without the things they need. Any advice or words of wisdom I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
