I'm Worried About My FDC - NO C&P Exam Offered
chomperjones posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research
so my claim was submitted on 12/12/2016. I submitted for bipolar/depression (reopen) and tinnitus (new). I sent it in as an FDC with all my evidence. I checked ebenefits on 12/21/2016 and the status is already showing preparation for decision. Is this normal? I haven't even gone to a c&p exam, I haven't recieved any correspondences or anything. For the bipolar depression it is a reopen because when i first filed in 2011, I missed my appointment. After I missed my appointment, the VA sent me papers (back in 2011) saying that they see that i was treated for depression during active duty. but since i failed to show up to the appointment, it was denied. So now i've sent a ton of new evidence that supports my claim and they've reopened the case. But does the speed with which this is progressing means that i am being denied? As noted below, ebennies is showing that the va rep has already made a decision, in less than two weeks. With no exams or anything... What does this mean... Is this normal? have i been denied? Is there a phone number i can call?? im freaking out. Here's what ebenefits show: Estimated Completion: 01/24/2017 - 03/04/2017 STATUS: Preparation For Decision The Veterans Service Representative has recommended a decision, and is preparing required documents detailing that decision. If more evidence is required, the claim will be sent back in the process for more information or evidence -
Hi guys, First I would like to thank everyone for their service to our country!!! I just recently been awarded 70% disability for PTSD in September after 18 months of waiting. I have not filed for any increases nor do I have any other claims in process. I just spoke with the folks at the va and they mentioned that I have a appointment with the mental health doctor through video monitor. I live in a town located about 45 minutes from New Orleans where the doctor is located. Can anyone tell me what does this mean? Not sure what to expect. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks
