I march of 08 I submitted a claim on my ankles, IBS and 2 clams on my feet, the lost my file by July of 08, so I went up to their location and they found it under something did not say what, I also filed for a increase for my DDD on my back. In Jan of 09 they cam back with a decision on my ankle 20/20% and IBS 30%, but not on my back or the 2 claims on my back. I had surgery on my right ankle which service connected on April 6 09 and filed for 100% temp. I talked with my rep today and he said they made a decision on my back and feet but not on my temp 100% on my ankle, he told me the VA had a suspense date of July 25 09 for my temp 100% and it was sitting on the raters desk. The last note was the VA ask for records form the VA in April 09 and received the the 30 of April 09. I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else, or if anyone knew what this means.

Thanks Ken

VA can just bump the suspense date up again.

What it means is that................

your still in a holding pattern to wait some more.

Never ceases to amaze me how many think that the suspense date means anything to the VA. It is only a date to check the file and nothing more.

The suspense system is the way they keep up with the workload. If it cannot be worked or they are waiting for further development, they will simply change the suspense. Good Luck
