I was previously rated at 50%(40% postphlebetic syndrome, 10% femur fracture, 0% eczema). No retro yet.

I was previously rated at 50%(40% post phlebetic syndrome, 10% femur fracture, 0% eczema). I filed for an increase on the post phlebetic syndrome and to reopen claim for arthritis in both knees 3/1/17. I had a comp and pension exam 6/10/17 and again 11/27/17. My claim was decided 1/10/18. AB8 letter shows the service connected both knees at 10% so I am now rated at 40% post phlebetic syndrome, right knee arthritis 10%, left knee arthritis 10%, femur fracture 10%, and eczema 0%. Waiting on the big brown envelope.

My claim completed today 1/10/18. AB8 shows increase to 60%. Now awaiting the big brown envelope.

Ebenefits says a portion of my claim closed today but there is a part still gathering evidence. Now we wait for the BBE....

Navy4life, First as a fellow sailor thank you for your service! My Dad was a CTRC USN retired after 24 years. I was a DK and OTASN before being medically retired. So I inquired of Peggy last night. My 6/1/17 claim is due to complete 7/14/17 but we know....hurry up and wait! My 3/1/17 claim is due to complete 8/24/17 and is in gathering evidence phase. I inquired of IRIS and this is the response I received this morning: Dear Ms. Wagner;This is in response to your inquiry to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dated July 12, 2017.Thank you for your service to our country. Your supplemental compensation claim is currently in the development phase of processing. During this phase, we gather the evidence needed to decide your claim. We have received all requested evidence. Your claim will be reviewed and we will contact you if additional information is needed.At this time, it is estimated that your claim should be completed by August 24, 2017. Please understand that this date is an estimate and that your claim may take longer based on the specifics of your claim and VA's pending workload. So still playing the waiting game ATM.
