ptsd How Long Does The Varo In Ga Take To Process Claims

[Cm Burns]

I filed my claim in October, I have gotten 2 brown envelopes and have completed the docs and sent them back. I have also taken advise from here and working on what I have been told to do to try and find my records. When I called and asked for a status update they said they were waiting on my civillian records to come back. They claimed they did not get some of the docs I sent so I am sending them another copy. Since I have no records I am also sending them a statement from a girl that worked in outpatient phyciatry where I was seen on active duty as well as a few more statements. That will be done by the end of the week. I am just curious how long claims are taking these days. I say another post that said 5 mos but not sure where they are located. Do you guys have any idea in this area how long I should expect to wait. My cliam was extensive. I had several problems from Depression to ptsd while on active duty. I also had an issue that caused me to almost die having my second daughter. I was told there was some issue within my uterus that caused this and my first daughter was delivered by c-section at Winn army hospital. What do you guys thing as a guage. I have not been able to work at a job out side my house due to symptoms of my ptsd and rarly leave home unless with my family. even then I am so paraniod I can rarely enjoy myself. Its tough on me and my family because the lack of income is very stressfull. I have not worked outside my home since 1999. I also applied for pension but am told the pension will take the same amount of time as the compensation claim so there is no relief in the near future for my finances. Thnx in advance for your help and advise. I am just looking for a way to guage time. I know also there is no guarantee what the outcome with be but with my symptoms I am just hopefull that out of the 27plus things I claimed I will get a min of at least 80-100% Thnx in advance again for your help this board has been a God send to me for info and insite into my condition and has let me know that I am not totally crazy that what i am going through is something that other exp as well.

Thnx

My responce to some of the things answered here.

Never applied for ssi

I am seen weekly at the va for ptsd and my consult for I am also seen seperately for depression. I have a consult with a new dr on wed. for it. My back and knees and skin issues are also being reated at the va. I am in pt and kt for my back knees and legs also.

I have talked to my pc dr about the issues witht he birth and its on my cliam they are waiting on the records is what the va has told me in re to the claim on that.

As stated so I dont have my medical records I have ptsd related to MST and that is where my claims are coming from and we are working on all this in treatment which I hate but that is totally unrelated.

I have no vet rep. and Yes I have requested my records.
