Quibley Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I filed my claim in April 2009. In January 2010, I was awarded 10% SC for tinnitus and my PTSD claim was deferred pending a C&P which I have completed. For an initial determination, how much longer do you think I will have to wait?

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted July 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 27, 2010 I thought the new relaxed rule for PTSD was in effect already? I did not think you had to still prove or verify stressors. If that is so Quibley should be home free. The delay to verify the stressor occurred before the rule change.

carlie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah, Carlie, more waiting. I called 1-800 number they said I have been rated and am at final stage of authorization. Hurry up and wait.... Quib, VA 101 - Don't put much stock into what the 800 # tells you - their main job is to answer the phone lines and get you to hang up fairly quick. There is no way I know of to accurately track claims - including ebenefits. jmho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, the new rule doesn't apply to me because my claim is based on PTSD secondary to personal assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quibley Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Logged on to e-benefits just now and I'm out of the decision phase and into the authorization phase. No money deposited, though :( DAV NSO's secretary ( NSO's are gone because of the national convention) told me it's definitely sitting on a desk in authorization.

HadIt.com Elder Testvet Posted August 4, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2010 Quibley not to bust your bubble but even denials have to be "authorized" you can't depend on anything until you get the award letter in your HAND everything on the phone or e mail is useless I have heard many times that the actual award "changed" from what the veteran was "told" with awards don't spend it before you see it sorry but they are not the most "trustworthy" people you will get told a lot of things to get you off the phone and you can't spend conversations wait until you get the check or deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quibley Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) Quibley not to bust your bubble but even denials have to be "authorized" you can't depend on anything until you get the award letter in your HAND everything on the phone or e mail is useless I have heard many times that the actual award "changed" from what the veteran was "told" with awards don't spend it before you see it sorry but they are not the most "trustworthy" people you will get told a lot of things to get you off the phone and you can't spend conversations wait until you get the check or deposit Test, I fully expect to be denied and am eager to start the appeal process, but I can't do that until I get my denial. I understand what you mean, though. Thanks. My only reason for bringing up the non deposit was to confirm that I have been denied.
