Just wondering if anyone has any advice for helping speed up the intial descision process. I filed a claim in July 2009, was done all my C&P appts. in Aug 2009, and seperated from active service in Nov 2009. I have called the VA repeatedly and they have told me the best estimate they have in that I might hear something in May 2010. Is this the norm, or is there some other way to go about it? I was enrolled in the Benefits Delivery at Discharge program, and was led to beleive that I would hear something soon after discharge. My rep at the DAV doesn't seem to care either. He just tells me to wait longer. I am about to lose my house in less than 30 days because can't keep a job. Also, as an OEF/OIF veteran, I thought I was entitled to healthcare for 5 years for service-connected injuries. I have tried using this and I get told that if I really need healthcare I should drive to the ER at the closest VAMC, which is 2 hours away. Any Advice? Thanks, from a newcomer to this
