  1. I logged into ebenefits today and saw the status was changed to "preparation for decision". I looked that up and found that it meant the VSR has made a decision and is preparing the document detailing the decision. I'm a little nervous because it's only been 2 weeks, does anyone know if this is good or bad based on experience?
  2. Thank you for your reply, my knee and back are documented but my depression and anxiety are not. I have a buddy statement for my knee, I will also get one for my depression and anxiety. I didn't really think about that since I had a VA doc diagnose me, but the process so far makes me think I'll need it.
  3. The VSO I had been working with has left and I have a new one, but based on your reply, I #2 applies with my sleep apnea, which I had diagnosed after my service and #3 I can never get them on the phone .. perhaps I should see if an attorney would be better at this point.
  4. Thank you both for your replies. I'm new to the process so after years of persuasion I'm finally seeing what my buddies have been exposed to in filing claims. The secondary connection is realistic with my knee, I've had increased pain and limited ROM since after my service. I currently go to physical therapy and my doc has said that surgery is the only option if I don't notice any improvement.
  5. Thank you for the reply. My VA doc has documented the reasons and link to active duty service. Based on the process so far, I do plan to schedule an appointment with a doctor outside of the VA for a medical opinion to include with my reconsideration.
  6. I submitted a claim for my left knee, lower back, anxiety, and depression. It was denied in under 30 days. My VSO submitted a reconsideration with additional records from my private doc, but that was also denied in under 30 days. My VSO then suggested I get nexus letters that state my current conditions are 'as likely as not' due to injuries/circumstances suffered during my service. I recently submitted nexus letters from my private doc for my knee and back, but my VA doc would not write a letter for my anxiety and depression, both of which she has diagnosed me with. The letters I did submit were concise (a couple of paragraphs), both indicated my current conditions and that they are 'as likely as not' due to the injuries/circumstances and events of my military service. For my anxiety and depression I just submitted my VA medical record with notes of each appointment I had. All of this was submitted as a reconsideration. I asked my VSO what I could expect next and he mentioned C&P exams are likely. My question is, does it sound like I have submitted enough for the VA to schedule C&P exams? Thanks
