tdiu Claims

[Charleese]

Hi everyone,

My husband called the 800# today and questioned them as to the status of his TDIU & CUE claims. They told him that the TDIU claim was at the raters and his CUE claim was pending.

Question: What do they mean when they say Pending?

Thanks in advance for responding.

That's interesting how 3.160 Status of claims only tells you about the type of claims, but doesn't go into details about the actual status. :D

In VAology status does not mean things like we veterans

would think status means.

Well your claim was in pre-determination on XX/XX/XXXX

and a C&P was ordered on XX/XX/XXXX, the examination was

performed on XX/XX/XXXX and the decision maker requested an

ammended opinion from the examiner on XX/XX/XXXX.

The examiner could not provide an ammended opinion until he gets

the results of an MRI that as of yet has not been scheduled.

Status in VAology is:

We received the claim, it continues in a pending status.

End of VA communication until......................

jmho,
