Dic Claim Question

[cjevans]

I inquired about my DIC claim today. They told me "still Pending - development at rating board - went to the board June 9, 2009...

My question: If my claim is at the "Rating Board" can they still ask me for more information before deciding claim?

Thank You.... B)

Bummer.....thanks Carlie

A good thing is if you have some new earth shattering positive evidence

to support you claim - you also still have the right to submit it.

CJ, are you still waiting for an answer? I am also waiting, my case is at AMC in DC. Where is yours?

To akawidow....I filed my DIC claim in May and received good news that it was approved the end of June!!!! Ya hoo...I posted my victory here on Hadit back when I received.

My Dic claim was in Southern California (San Diego Office). I believe my claim went through because of the statements made clearly by doctor on my husband's death certificate. I'm sure this was the case.

If you need any help please let me know!

You did real well, and a late congratulations!

I went back on your posts and figured out that you are a RVN widow like me. We also did not know about AO presumptive things, and unlike your husband, my vet's cancer was not AO presumptive to the best of my knowledge. Looking back on his medical records however, I found other presumptive condition symptoms.

Did yours have a C&P for AO? As far as I know, mine never did.

My claim is over 5 1/2 years old, and is at AMC after a deny and a deny and a remand.

I did not have Hadit when mine died, but did ask and was granted by our private doctor to have the death certificate amended to show secondary cause of death as his sc ptsd.

VA does not like that , of course.

Right now I am trying to find out whether or not his not having a C&P for AO is something I can do somethng about at this late date, and waiting for an answer on my DIC claim, among other things.

Thanks for your reply, and your help.

BTW, I got a Toyota after he died...needed something reliable and 4WD up here in the Greatland.
