HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted February 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) It is a slow process....especially with all of the new claims coming in from Iraq/Afganistan veterans. If Obama does successfully put an end to the war we will be flooded. Waiting time could explode then, but we are hiring new people (in preparation, I assume). That, of course, brings a whole new set of problems (training, trainers, reviews of work prior to release, etc.) You are truly one of the few, Meddac. Thank you for your insight. You are appreciated by many unknown veterans and their families. Best wishes for a sucessful future.

kookiebean2001 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Got a letter Saturday saying they were "sorry for the delay". Wow! Looks like the moved my claim to antoher regional office, I think? Still waiting, cruising towards 120+ days.....Eric I recieved a letter saying the same thing yesterday, the IRIS response didn't work I guess it's been about 2 weeks I forgot. Still waiting after 120 days as well. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1. Faith is the ability to not panic. 2. If you worry, you didn't pray.

When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 6. Do the math. Count your blessings. 7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 8.

108thADA Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hello folks, I asked the Phila. regional office, the VA claims guy at the VA and another "specialist" from my local govt, all three had incomplete and non-specific answers as to starting a 100% convalescent rating claim. I had back surgery (spinal fusion L5-S1) 11 FEB 09 and will be out of commission for a while. Also when should I start the process of re-evaluation for the back rating (20%), after the convalescing period I would suppose. 1. What is necessary for a successful convalescent rating. 2. When should re-evaluation for increased benefit begin. Thanks in advance, E. Tomlinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done wit this Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 What is necessary for a successful convalescent rating. What I had to do is get the copies of My surgery report from the Hospital and send them in They need to know when where what and The surgery Report I would believe covers it all When should re-evaluation for increased benefit begin. I think it would be the same day as surgery but Not sure on this One... Maybe one of the Elders can answer this..Could be when we file..I know that in order for you to claim an intire month the surgey has to be done on or before the 10th of the month.. Its another process..Hurry up and wait.. "We should not have to fight the system, We fought to protect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
