ptsd Pilot For Expedited Claims

[tom91]

I received a response from the VA today that my claim for PTSD had been received. My RO is apparently one of the offices in the pilot for expediting claims. Although anxious for a response to my claim, not sure if expediting would result at my claim being at risk for approval...?

Anyone out there experienced this or can provide feedback?

I am not experienced with this pilot program -

BUT I would jump on the opportunity

like butter melting on a baked potato.

What RO are you working with?

Is Cleveland one of them? I just filed for an increase and received my duty to assist letter asking me to reply within 30 days! It used to be 90 days! Hopefully it moves faster than last time!

I've been told my claim was going to be expedited numerous times. It's now on the eleventh year at the BVA.

Has you claim really been at the BVA for 11 years. You need to write a book about this.
