So do my recent QTC appointments go towards anything? Do I need to file something else to expedite the appeals? Or am I just in a waiting game for this appeal process? Because according to ebenefits I don’t have any historical appeals.

Back in October 2012 when I separated I filed my original claim and was fully denied (missed appointments). Before the denial I tried to reschedule but was given the run around and pretty much was at a loss. In August of 2013 I filed, with help from my local VA office, for an appeal and for over 5 years I heard nothing from the VA. In early 2018 my VSO filed for another appeal because it seemed as if the VA never got my original appeal and was denied due to it being outside of the “one year time frame”. In April this year my VSO filed an NOD stating, with evidence, I filed an appeal within the year time frame and was susquently denied again and my original claim in 2012 was “closed”. So in April 2018 I refiled and my claim was “reopened”, and in October I restarted this process and made it to all of my QTC appointments. My claim made it all the way to “Pending Decision” and had a estimated completion of 1/14/2019-2/7/2019 and all seemed well! Today the hammer dropped... I went on ebenifits to do my weekly claim status check and my claim was gone. I called the VA and was told I will be getting a letter soon stating “my claim was being forwarded to the appropriate reviewers because I cannot claim disablities that are in an appeal”. At this point I am just trying to see what is my next step in this process because it appears as though I’m in gridlock/checkmate with the VA. Any help or advice would be great!
