[Expidited Claim]

Hello to all, July of this year i wrote a letter requesting aid & attendance for my husband. I listed his conditions to the best of my ability. My letter was compelling enough for a phone call this past Friday on our way to yet another appointment. The VRO asked if I could have a DR fill out A&A and fax back to her same day. My husbands home health care nurse took charge and got it completed and faxed. DR had stated he was terminal and was unable to be left unattended. I received another call saying exams are being set for expidited claim for both A&A and adaptive home also. Not sure what time line an expidited claim will take?

Sorry for the loss of clarity, The appointment was not with a VA doctor this was an appointment made by the VA outsourced to specialist who have offices located here in NE IN.

This he ask with tear in eyes he has had three strokes causing much damage to his brain and the loss of all sight in one eye. I failed to keep him safe from emotional harm.
