Howdy,
To circle back I did get my letter and it is indeed a partial. 80% for now, retro to 1 October and then a few P&C exams that I guess they decided they wanted for a dominant hand , foot and deviated septum that they punted on initially. Ironically one of the items listed as "deferred", need more info is my sleep apnea. I called them a few months back concerned that documentation I had uploaded (didn't have a rep, did this myself) was no longer showing online. They checked and indicated they have it all and to not worry if I couldn't see it. The letter stated that need to schedule and or see copies of my sleep study. That was the exact thing I pointed out to them was missing so they have it again and I dodge having to do a study.
So they have it now..again and it shows severe OSA so I suspect that will be easy. Also after looking over their rulings I don't have any bones to pick about where I landed on the items they rated. In doing my research I had taken a hard look and created a word doc with my best guess assumptions and it is a match. The apnea should put me at 90% and then we will see if the other change that.
So I did BDD on this. Submitted my stuff 6/19/2019, started hitting my P&C exams while on terminal 5 July. Finished all the exams 1 Aug. Waited for confirmation from QTC that my full package had been submitted to VA and submitted the form that I had no more evidence to submit on 8 August. Received my rating 13 November.
So it would have been nice to get it done the very first shot but appreciate the fact that the VA has the discretion to award a partial while they dig deeper.
I am learning. Thanks for the help.
