Just a follow up on my re-open file case: Tinnitus & OSA(Sleep Apnea) - Secondary to DM-II & Hypertension=>AO.. Originally submitted about 4 months ago.
This past week, I received a letter stating what they have so far which includes all med. records, etc. They have it all, took the OSA(pulmonary/CPAP) lab testing also. Have not heard anything about Tinnitus exam, though. Meantime, I went ahead and sent to VARO the VCAA Notice Response indicating that I have no other information or further evdence. It also stated "Please decide my claim as soon as possible" from the portion I checked off. I believe it will take 60+ days to wrap up the claim?
Is this just a formality communication letter bet. myself & VA which could take many more months to process? Is there a Tinnitus test requirement, or is it automatically 10% additional as read from the forum & other VA advocate internet sites?
