I just talked to my VARO and was informed that my 1151 claim in not in there data base and has been lost.
I had a claim with many issues for increase (SMC) that was rated on Feb 02, 2006 and was told it was in authorization and then would go to finance. I filed a 1151 claim on Jan 24, 2006 after our meeting with the VAMC Medical Director. I was told a few days ago that my claim for increase had been pulled and sent back to developement to be joined with my 1151 claim (I have been waiting for 15 months for the rating on the claim for increase).
I took Berta's advice and did not withdraw my 1151 claim. I was told by the VARO that I probally would not receive the ratings decison for both claims for a year or more.
I did not sleep last night due to this foolishness. I once again callled them about 20 min ago, and now they are telling me that my 1151 claim is lost and not even in the VA database. I was asked when I sent it in. I informed this person of this ordeal and I was put on hold for over 1/2 hour until I get another supervisior that told me the same thing and that my increase claim is back at the rating office, I explained that my claim had already been rated. I was then informed is there anything else I can do for you. I hung up I don't know what to do. I know that the VAMC admitted fault in reguards to my 1151 claim. I am blown away. Just when you think you have seen or heard it all from the VA.

Greetings,
I just talked to my VARO and was informed that my 1151 claim in not in there data base and has been lost.
