With verified stressor or CIB,PH, CAR on his DD 214 -this certainly sounds good-

But I agree with Carlie- to get a copy of the C & P exam results.

The RO could certainly make the decision with this favorable C & P.

My award was made in April and I am still waiting for my money.Hope this goes faster for you then that.

Berta,

Me too hope it goes quick-the lawyers said they wanted to push it thru back to the RO asap since its been 11 years and counting...if I read the remand correctly I believe the diagnosis from the VA doc was what they wanted, because there was a differnce of opinion between the 08 IMO and the 07 CPexam on factor C-he did meet more than 5 of the DSMIV critieria then-which the lawyer stated in his addendum as a rebuttal to the DRO hearing ---and the stressors have been verified according to the 08 SSOC I know to read alot of these, but if you remember they said he was diagnosed with PTSD back in 05'but they failed to verify stressor then-then when they did -they said he had "various psych. diagnoses"after his 07 CP-but yet as you know his SS is for PTSD-and

has been since 03'---say a prayer for us!!!!!!!! Thanks Mrsvet

Yep sorry I overlooked BVA so it does have to go back and yes the VA will pay the attorneys from your retro.

for awhile I had to keep up on them-so I sent letters thru for different things-maybe now they'll keep in touch with me B)

[mrsvet28]

Mrs Vet it took me 4 months after my claim was approved by the BVA before I got the check I was lucky my lawyer was pro bono.....

We are 11 years and counting ...4 months is a cakewalk!! :P ...and they took it on pro bono but I still believe alot of the pro bono falls under the Equal Op To Justice Act for them so they bill the gov't anyway................ B)

for awhile I had to keep up on them-so I sent letters thru for different things-maybe now they'll keep in touch with me B)

Considering the C&Ps I've been through, I cannot begin to express the gratitude and joy I have for you both.

May the decision making and payout come quickly and as smoothly.

Again, congrats.
