FDC Decisions seem to be taking 4 to 6 mos, Reg A$$ Claims, depending on number of issues and complexity, can take over a year.

What type of claim did you file? How about posting a redacted copy of your C & P DBQ (s?), help us get a grip on your situation.

I don't have a copy of my c@p exam. I went on my healthevet but did not see how to access it

[Wait time]

Can anybody give me the usual wait time for a decision after the VA receive my c&p exams?

Well that is your choice...some veterans jump into a claim with out proper evidence, and then get denied and  then the appeals start.

However if you been injured or came down with a disease while in the military  I recommend for all veterans to file a claim!

Get your medical records and Dr's opinions to support your claim and any other possible evidence together before submitting a claim, you can file a ITF(Intent to File) before you actually file for your contentions , you have a year before you have to submit it as a claim  but do file as a ITF  It gives you some time to be gathering up your evidence  and when you submit your claim do in in an organized way  it makes it a lot easier for them to work your claim.

I recommend you request your C-FILE and all STRs ASAP

Just remember  its the medical evidence you need to prevail in your claim.

I been diagnosed through a va psych and i take a lot of meds.  I have all the documentation for the illness i also take sleeping pills.  My combat action badge was a result of getting attacked on a bridge in Baghdad in  2003 when we got ambushed

Thank you.  I filed already and even though i have a combat action badge i still filled out the stressor statement.  I hope it helps my case more

Thanks for the info.  I see so many veterans that have a hard time with the va.  I'm wondering if it was just a waste of time to file

I was diagnosed with ptsd by a Va psych.  I am on two different types of medication along with a medication to help me sleep.  I have a combat action badge on my dd 215. What are my chances of getting rated at least 10%? Any feedback would be appreciated
