What does this means and anyone know how long this can take?

We are unable to answer any questions about the decisions made on your claim until after you have received the notification letter via U.S. mail. If you have any more questions after you have received the letter, please feel free to contact us.

If you can't work file for IU. You probably have a good claim for depression and chronic pain disorder in there somewhere. With all those problems how are you going to work and who is going to hire you? Unless you can do your own business it is going to be hard to hold down a job. Are you in constant pain? What medications do you take?

Continuing back and leg pain every day, I take about six pills, for blood pressure nothing for pain but vitamin M from the base, I am going to get checked up at VA, even though I have Tri-care. I have complained about this for years, but the Air Force just wanted to keep me flying so no drugs they could not get waivers for, too stupid realize that until I was getting out, and I questioned everything, but taking away your flight pay is a big deal I see it clear now but much too late. I have look up everything they said on internet they can only get worse. What should be my next recourse?

Get a written medical opinion that states that you cannot work, that your disabilities make it impossible for you to attain employment and that these conditions will not be getting any better in the future.

Then file for TDIU (VA form 21-8940). Do it tomorrow.

It means that your claim, at the time of the reply, had not been decided. It is likely "fully developed", and ready to "rate", with an initial to be approved decision. Depending on the amount of money involved, and the % rating(s), it can be weeks or even months to go. If the claim gets "lost", (unlikely theses days) it might take years. If approved, it's possible that money will wander by before you get the approval letter.

Since by your later post, you received the notification letter (June 24), it's obvious that the reply to your query was not correct or current. (What else is new!) In any event, congratulations in making it through the system successfully!
